w <br />~ ~ a <br />cross sections E-16 and E-17.5 was very active with up to 9 ft of sand deposition along the left <br />bank. This quantity of sand could severely impact an inlet located in this reach. <br />A potential return flow drainage way from the wetlands to the river would be located <br />at the south end of the wetlands area near cross section E-17.5. An existing constructed <br />drainage way to the river has been blocked by earth fill. This drainage channel could be <br />excavated and a gate control could be designed to establish a vaziable wetlands water surface <br />depending on the river stage. <br />From this data collection project and analysis of the field data, it can be concluded that <br />the wetlands can be flooded frequently at moderate river dischazges. Some excavation would <br />be required to create a river channel inlet, channel to the wetlands and return flow drainage <br />way. Additional investigation may required to overcome the problems related to high selenium <br />concentrations in some azeas of the old meander bend. Several recommendations are presented <br />in the following section that would facilitate the construction of the wetlands hydraulic control <br />facilities. <br />36 <br />
