The face of head-cuts would be shaped smooth using handtools and covered with coir fabric mesh staked into place. Eroded pine would be used as a source of material to provide soil stability, grade control, and energy dissipation.
Location
Eddington Creek is a high quality cold-water trout stream that flows directly into the Manistee River about one mile downstream of Hodenpyle Dam.
