The project will consist of constructing log water bars and log sediment traps on the approximately three- quarters of a mile section of the Pawnee Buttes Trail.

The barrier logs will be stabilized using pre-cut rebar. The funds provided under this grant proposal will provide for the fee for service costs of the WCYCC. The WCYCC will provide a crew of 8-10 crew members and one full time crew leader for this project. The WCYCC anticipates that at least 240 service hours will be provided on this project. At the completion of this project, %mile of the Pawnee Buttes trail will have log water bars and sediment traps to decrease soil erosion and decrease sediment loads in nearby water holes or streams.
