To that degree, the City and WCRC have completed several restoration projects though this partnership. These projects included, but are not limited to, the White River Riverbank Stabilization Project, Niokaska Creek within Sweetbriar Park, Niokaska Creek within Gulley Park and the West Fork of White River Airport Site DISCUSSION: The MOU (Effective date January 9, 2014) outlines a process by which task orders can be developed for various activities that are in line with the goal of reducing NPS pollution and restoring the City's streams. Task Order No 2 is presented pursuant to the MOU and consists of continuing efforts to establish and maintain dense native vegetation as well as make minor modifications as necessary to the stream to ensure the continued success of the completed restoration projects.
