Creek Conservation Work Underway
Pheasant Branch Kromrey Middle School Stream Relocation Project
04/2015
The Pheasant Branch Kromrey Middle School Stream Relocation Project will relocate approximately 480 linear feet of stream channel away from eroding streambanks and a steep eroded slope by creating a new channel using ecologically-sensitive techniques in order to mitigate erosion created as a result of increased stormwater inputs into Pheasant Branch in the City of Middleton. Relocation of this section of stream will also increase flood flow capacity at the site allowing flood flows to rise up out of the bankfull channel and spread out over the newly created floodplain, dissipating energy, and offering increased protection at the toe of the steep slope above which a new addition to the Kromrey Middle School has been built. This project is funded by TIF funds and is not a City of Middleton Public Lands Department work item. Construction is expected to last 2-3 weeks.
