    Streambank Transformation in 5 Days

    The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission partnered with the Mifflin County Conservation District to complete a project on Kishaquillas Creek, located near Belleville, PA. The project included the installation of 6 single log vane structures, 5 log framed stone deflectors, 140' of modified mudsill, and 300 tons of stone. These structures will provide better riffle, run, and pool habitat with overhead cover and bank stabilization.

    Following the completion of the stream habitat restoration work, an agricultural crossing and new fencing were installed as additional best management practices for the farmer. The project took 5 days to complete.
