PUBLIC NOTICE MASON CONSERVATION DISTRICT (MCD) is requesting bids from qualified parties to assist with ongoing restoration efforts in a high priority reach along the mainstem of Gosnell Creek in Mason County, Washington through the implementation of instream habitat restoration and floodplain connectivity practices. The project includes construction of 9, pile supported and bank ballasted LWD (Large Woody Debris) Habitat/Complexity structures, 1 bank ballasted Back Channel ELJ (Engineered Log Jam) and excavation of an approximately 160 LF back channel. Spoils from back channel excavation will be hauled to, spread and compacted at an on-site upland spoils area. Imported streambed sediments will be placed within the back channel per the Engineers Plans and Specifications. This Work will also require stabilizing all areas disturbed by construction activities with hydroseed as well as resurfacing approximately 2300 LF of W. Winter Creek Road.
