1 DINGMANS CREEK RIGHT BANK RIPARIAN VEGETATION PLANTINGS, WITH SOME SOIL CHOKE & PLANTING OF EXISTING RIPRAP @ Rt. 209 DELAWARE WATER GAP NATIONAL RECREATION AREA NATIONAL PARK SERVICE PROJECT CONSTRUCTED JULY 24, 2008

3 We were going to veg the Mega-slide site today but rain & high water (we could not cross the creek) left us in a dilemma?? MEGA-SLIDE PLANTING-DINGMAN’S CR. PIX BY DERRICK 7-24-2008

4 Now what to do? Let’s plant some other sites!!! MEGA-SLIDE PLANTING-DINGMAN’S CR. PIX BY DERRICK 7-24-2008

5 PROBLEMS  The right bank of Dingmans Creek immediately upstream of the Rt. 209 bridge is a flat field with herbaceous vegetation, but no tall trees or shrubs.  The existing unvegetated heavy riprap on the right bank is a source of heat to the stream. Large interstices between riprap stones make planting difficult.

6  E stablish a continuous riparian corridor on the right descending bank from an existing forest downstream to the State Rt. 209 highway bridge. A rubber tire backhoe was used to dig trenches for both unrooted & rooted stock trees & woody shrubs.  Utilizing a gravel & soil choke, some areas of the existing heavy riprap bank & bridge protection were planted with both unrooted & rooted stock trees & woody shrubs. SOLUTIONS (THE PLAN)

7 DINGMANS CREEK @ Route 209 PARTIAL SOIL CHOKE & PLANTING OF EXISTING RIPRAP, PLUS PLANTING A 50’ WIDE BY 200’ LONG RIPARIAN BUFFER
