PROJECT STATUS REPORT as of 17-Jun-2026
Plowed Terraces Demo COMPLETE
PROJECT LOCATION:
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
This project will develop and demonstrate a non-traditional procedure for constructing earthen terraces in shallow open water areas. Thirty-eight earthen terraces will serve as wave-stilling, sediment-trapping structures and provide a medium base for the establishment of emergent vegetation. If successful, this technique will provide a less expensive method of constructing earthen terraces than the traditional method using excavation equipment and its consequent borrow channels.
PROJECT STATUS: (Project Status Last Updated: )
FUND STATUS:
The current project estimate is $324,970 , which includes $280,216 for construction first costs, and $41,424 and $3,330 for 20 years of monitoring and operations and maintenance, respectively.
