Abstract
Announces decision to implement Alternative 2 of project EA, restoring the natural hydrologic functions of the swamp by re-establishing historic, shallow stream channels through the interior. Includes digging channels by mechanical means, replacing the culvert under Forest Road 1520 with a more "fish-friendly" design, filling in the ditches to prevent water from flowing back into those created channels, removing some of the conifers, and actively controlling the amount of reed canarygrass by burning, flaming, and raising the watertable.
