GOVERNMENT REQUIREMENTS: The purpose of this project is to restore the degraded structure and function of a section of the Cuyahoga River system at Cuyahoga Valley National Park (CVNP) using modern principles of stream ecosystem restoration. Our project area is located on the northern boundary of Summit County in Sagamore Hills Township immediately south of Vaughn Road and extending southward (upstream) to slightly north of Boston Mills Road. Our project will restore approximately 45% of the additional channel length required to reduce the slope to achieve equilibrium. Our objective is to restore the river and streamside habitat to a state that is naturally resistant to changes in channel slope, form, and dimensions without limiting natural erosion or other processes. The design is to lengthen the riverbend from 200 ft to 1,450 ft, with an estimated 7,900 ft of additional upstream hydraulic impacts. The restoration thus benefits approximately 58% (9,350 ft) of the proposed post-restoration river length between Boston Mills and Vaughn Road (16,150 ft). Contract duration is estimated at 5 years. The estimated cost range is between $10,000,000.00 and $25,000,000.00.
