CN Trestle Bridge Channel Diversion and Revegetation

A failing slope was discovered below CN's Trestle Bridge at 8.8 mile on the CN Kitimat Subdivision, located approx. 10 km south of Terrace, BC. The unnamed creek (referred to as 8.8 creek) is a tributary to Mink Creek, draining into Lakelse River. To stabilize the slope while at the same time avoiding the loss of fish habitat, a berm was placed and an alternative stream channel was established along the toe of the berm. The project was divided into a pre-work phase, an instream phase, a monitoring phase, and a deactivation and revegetation phase.
