The Process:
1.
The first phase involved clearing out an invasive species and installing erosion control matting on a 1:1-2:1 slope.
2.
The second phase involved minor earthwork in preparation for GSI’s drilling construction for the slope stabilization, plus removal of a concrete wall and having it barged across Lake WA for disposal.
3.
The final phase involved planting over 1,300 native plant species for shoreline habitat improvements and final slope stabilization once the drilling was complete.
