Macomb County: Gibson Drain Site
This site is located in Delia Park, City of Sterling Heights, on the Gibson Drain. Three soil bioengineering practices were installed on a 220-foot section of the drain: live staking with an inert fascine toe, fascines with inert fascine toe, and brush mattress with rock rip-rap toe.
The following photos shows the site before installation of soft engineering practices.
