The purpose of the Provo River Delta Restoration Project (PRDRP) is to create a new delta ecosystem to help recover the threatened June sucker. The project will also provide and improve recreational experiences in and around the original lower Provo River and the newly restored delta.
Allred Restoration provided design services for all aquatic and hydrologic features in the delta, including 2-D hydraulic modeling of both the Provo River and the Delta, sediment transport analyses, habitat creation assessments, and many other issues, including interfacing with other infrastructure projects such as the Lakeview Parkway, Gateway Park, and two new bridges.
Allred Restoration also provided construction oversight for this large and complex ecosystem restoration project, working directly with the US Bureau of Reclamation crews. Allred Restoration teamed with BIO-WEST for revegetation design, 404 permitting assistance, and weed control for the project, along with many other tasks.
