• Columbia Slough Corps of Engineers 1135 Restoration Project
– “Dredge material was placed along opposite sides of the channel to create wetland benches and a meandering low water channel. The benches were planted to provide emergent wetland and riparian scrub-shrub wetland vegetation. Little emergent marsh habitat is currently available along the main slough, primarily due to the steep banks and narrow channel along most of the project area.”
