PROJECT OVERVIEW

The Fox Run Floodplain Restoration project restored two unnamed tributaries to Fox Run as part of a master plan to convert a former golf course into a township park. The goal was to restore approximately 3,440 lineal feet of stream channel by removing legacy sediments and adding woody debris as grade control and fish habitat, as well as provide stormwater management facilities for proposed park improvements. For this design-build project, Flyway Excavating worked as a subcontractor to LandStudies, who acted as the engineer and general contractor.
