Manor Circle Emergency Erosion Project

The November 2004 floods caused severe creek bank erosion along a bend of Tannehill Branch. Two four-plex structures were located on the edge of the creek. Heavy rains saturated the creek bank and storm flows scoured away the base of the bank. The high bank failed and slid into the creek and created an emergency situation. The foundation of one structure was undermined and a second structure was threatened. Eight families could have been displaced if bank conditions worsened. This emergency project reconstructed the creek bank with limestone armor on the lower bank and wrapped soil lifts on the upper bank. The entire upper section was seeded with native grasses. The property was reclaimed, the four-plex structures are protected and the natural creek setting is enhanced.

Heavy rains saturated the creek bank and storm flows scoured away the base of the bank. The bank failed and slid into the creek.	Armor section and wall foundation construction begins.
The wall foundation construction continues and geo-grids are laid between lifts.	The lower bank armor section is near complete.
The upper bank is reconstructed with a series of wrapped soil lifts.	The project is complete, the property is reclaimed, the two structures are protected and the natural creek setting is enhanced
