Belmont Creek Bank Restoration Project

We want to track the progress of the City's Creek Bank Restoration Project.

Over time, Belmont Creek within Twin Pines Park has become degraded due to increased urban runoff, channelization, invasive species, and other factors. Degradation includes channel incision, bank erosion, and loss of riparian vegetation and habitat. Sediment from creek erosion flows downstream towards the flatter reaches of the creek where it settles, reducing channel capacity and exacerbating flooding.

To address these concerns, the Twin Pines Park Belmont Creek Restoration Project will restore the banks and channel bottom of approximately 550 to 1,600 linear feet of Belmont Creek within the City of Belmont’s Twin Pines Park. The restoration work includes, but is not limited to, removing invasive vegetation, regrading and revegetating existing eroded creek banks with riparian vegetation, and stabilizing the creek banks and channel bottom to minimize future channel erosion. The goals of the project are to reduce erosion and resultant downstream flooding impacts from future storm events, improve water quality, enhance aquatic and terrestrial habitat, and enhance the Park experience and educational and creek viewing opportunities for park users.
