Dodsworth Run at Ninth Street Park Stream Restoration

Project Description: The purpose of the proposed stream restoration project is to meet sediment load reduction goals for the
Borough by eliminating contributing sources of sediment supply from Dodsworth Run to the receiving waters
of Wissahickon Creek. The work includes mobilization, selective site demolition, erosion and sediment controls,
flow diversion, and removal of accumulated sediment to create a functional floodplain area with a baseflow
channel that ties to the existing channel at the upstream extents and at the pedestrian bridge crossing at the
Ninth Street Park property. Log sill and woody debris grade control structures will be installed to provide grade
control across the restored system. The restored area will be planted as specified in the Drawings to provide
native riparian buffer habitat.
