Cripple Creek - Stream Improvement and Riparian Area Reclamation (SCIIP)

The Cripple Creek Stream Improvement and Riparian Area Reclamation project aims to restore and enhance a section of the Reedy River watershed by establishing a riparian forest and performing stream bank stabilization along an approximately 800-foot corridor. The project involves reducing erosion by grading stream banks to achieve a minimum 3:1 slope and creating bankfull benches where feasible. Restoration activities include bank grading with soil lifts, installing coir and turf reinforcement matting, constructing boulder walls, and applying toe treatments such as toe rock, toe wood, and boulder toes. In addition, the project plans to incorporate various instream features like cross vanes, boulder or constructed riffles, stream drops, j-hook vanes, and single arm vanes, with potential stream rerouting or daylighting to improve flow and habitat conditions. The solicitation, titled "Cripple Creek - Stream Improvement and Riparian Area Reclamation (SCIIP)," was posted on June 27, 2025, with a response deadline of August 1, 2025. The project is managed by Greenville County Land Development under the South Carolina agency, with a contract value estimated between $500,000 and $1,500,000.
