MCS removed an old collection box and designed,manufactured, and installed a new collection structure. The new structure was needed to protect
the sole habitat of an endangered species, a warm-water riffle beetle (Zaitzevia thermae), from sedimentation
caused by flooding. The structure also
protects the warm-water supply used by the adjacent
fish hatchery to breed threatened and endangered fish
species, including pallid sturgeon and fluvial and lacustrine
arctic grayling.
During the design phase of the project, MCS
|
● |
surveyed the facilities; |
● |
created an engineered design of the new warm-springs collection structure; and |
● |
designed flood-control dikes to protect buildings at Bridger Creek from 100-year flood events. |
During the construction phase of the project, MCS
|
● |
demolished, removed, and transported the retired concrete box for collecting warm-springs water; |
● |
abated and disposed of lead-based paint; |
● |
constructed and installed a new collection structure; |
● |
constructed armored, earthen dikes for flood control; |
● |
rehabilitated a lift station; and |
● |
rehabilitated stream habitats disturbed by heavy equipment |
