Project Sponsor
Kootenai Shoshone Soil and Water Conservation District
Purpose
This project reduces streambank erosion on the North Fork Coeur d’Alene River. The Kootenai Shoshone Soil and Water Conservation District worked with landowners near Prichard, Idaho, to stabilize 100 linear feet of eroding streambank with bioengineered techniques. The district provided project engineering, oversight, and certification support to ensure proper installation.
Funding
This project received $44,027 from Governor Little’s Leading Idaho initiative.
Current Status
Construction on this project was completed during summer 2023. Future monitoring will evaluate the bioengineering success and document the amount of vegetative survival and growth.
Outcome
This project is expected to reduce phosphorus loads to Coeur d’Alene Lake by approximately 12 pounds annually.
