Foster Meadow Restoration Project

Eldorado National Forest El Dorado, California Amador Ranger District

The proposed project is to implement near-complete gully fill. Road crossing would use a rock/soil fill with vegetation transplants to raise both the channel and floodplain to match the existing culvert invert/floodplain elevation.

Location

Foster meadow: approximately 40 miles east of Jackson, Ca., one mile north of State Highway 88, in the vicinity of the Peddler Hill maintenance station.
