Crosswords: STREAM BED

Gentle draft horses were used to transport wood to the sensitive regions of the upper river where heavy machinery would have been inappropriate. The horses were less expensive and worked in conjunction with the spyder to minimize disturbance to the stream bed and riparian buffer areas. Credit: NOAA Restoration Center.

Volunteers plant naturally occurring vegetation at the stream bed. When the vegetation is mature it will help to cool the stream and provide favorable conditions for spawning. Credit: NOAA Restoration Center.

A local middle school student videotapes the soil testing procedures at the future dam removal site as part of a documentary the school is producing. Later, students from the same middle school will act as volunteers to plant vegetation along the stream bed after the dam is removed. Credit: NOAA Restoration Center.

The soil at the dam removal site is tested for possible contaminants to prevent leaching or erosion into the stream bed when removing the dam. The site is also being searched for any significant archeological remains before the final digging begins. The scientists and archeologists determined through the testing that it was safe to proceed with the dam removal. Credit: NOAA Restoration Center.
