East Branch Delaware River Basin Project Summary

The East Branch Delaware Basin Project Summary provides information on the primary full channel stream restoration, riparian buffer restoration, stormwater and infrastructure, streambank stabilization, post-flood response and floodplain restoration projects that have been completed since 1999 as part of the Delaware Watershed Stream Management Program. Stream projects were constructed to meet multiple objectives including: water quality enhancement, infrastructure protection, improved flood conveyance and sediment transport, improved fish habitat, improved riparian functions and to demonstrate natural channel design. These projects constitute only one component of the NYC Department of Environmental Protection and Delaware County Soil and Water Conservation District's stream management program.
