River Walk Improvements

HRC was retained by the City of Utica to provide design engineering for streambank and recreation enhancements at Memorial and Heritage Parks, which are owned by the City. The location, exposure, access, and natural resources made these parks prime for improvement.

The HRC Team provided design, site plan development, permit administration, and reporting for the projects. Design included substantial toe protection to mid-bank and upland areas adjacent to the river using a combination of deep rooted vegetation, hard armoring, and bioengineering techniques.

Partridge Creek Habitat Restoration

Over one mile of the Partridge Creek (Gloede Drain) flows through an area of 50 acres which was previously a golf course. The area included several adjacent pocket wetlands. The existing site consisted of aquatic and terrestrial invasive species, eroded bank regions along the drain corridor, fragmented wetland areas, and degraded golf cart paths that narrow the channel width and obstruct flows. The project was separated into four phases that included: Invasive Plant Species Removal, Gloede Drain Natural Channel Design Restoration, Wetland Restoration, and Oak Openings Restoration.

McBride Drain Habitat Restoration

The McBride Drain Habitat Restoration was the collaboration of the Macomb County Public Works Commissioner, the EPA, GLRI and HRC. The enhancement and restoration of the McBride Drain enabled the stream to acquire and sustain a variety of aquatic and diverse vegetation. The stabilization of the streambanks and in-stream structures further improved the hydrology of the stream and created aquatic and habitat improvements.

The McBride Drain runs directly through a residential neighborhood. These improvements improved the quality of life and reduced flooding to the adjacent yards.
