Forest officials in the Blackrock Ranger District of the Bridger-Teton National Forest, are seeking public input on a proposed restoration and irrigation stabilization project on the Wild & Scenic Blackrock Creek near Blackrock Ranger District office east of Moran, WY. The project is to repair failing irrigation diversion infrastructure along the Blackrock Levee, and enhance fish habitat and streamside vegetation. During 2017 spring runoff, large rock was placed on Blackrock levee for emergency stabilization efforts to protect Blackrock Ranger Station, Hatchet Campground, and Hatchet Resort from imminent threat of flooding. The current rock configuration is inconsistent with the Wild & Scenic River Act requirements and inconsistent with maintaining the outstandingly remarkable values. The project is designed to restore the head-gate and levee vicinity in a way that decreases erosion, and eliminates or decreases need for ongoing channel repair. The existing bank would be strengthened by placing large, woody log debris and willow plantings, which would protect levee function and enhance fish habitat and scenery. Construction would occur between August and October of either 2020 or 2021. Comments can be submitted directly to the project lead with this email, Kelly.Owens@usda.gov.
