How long will the aquatic ecosystem restoration take?
The stream restoration has taken several years to complete. It proceeded in 3 phases: • Phase 1A-completed in 2002. This included initial stream re-channeling, infrastructure improvements such as reducing the impervious surface in the lower Frick Park parking lot and construction of a soccer field. • Phase 1B-began spring 2004 and was completed in the fall 2005. Stream channel modifications and improvements to the Fern Hollow/Falls Ravine tributary as well as the main stem of Nine Mile Run begin after the concrete lined channel near the Parkway (I-376) and extend to Commercial Avenue. • Phase 2 began in the fall of 2005 and was completed in June 2006. Stream channel modifications and improvements beginning at Commercial Avenue and extending through the slag heap to just before the CSX railroad crossing in Duck Hollow.
