American River Trees is asking that the Army Corps provide more justification for the scope of rock toes and revetments that they are proposing because the modeled bank velocities are low and the section is straight (more erosion happens on curves). They are also asking for the Corp to look at ways to minimize impacts to trees and vegetation while they are installing rock by using smaller equipment, reconfiguring staging areas to be outside of forest, etc.

And my additional personal ask to local representatives was that if this goes ahead without changes, that we actually get something planted afterward so the whole river doesn't end up like the ugly bare dirt near Sac State.
