Project Spotlight
Huron Hills Golf Course Stormwater Improvements
Engineering Natural Solutions for A Lasting Impact
HRC provided stream restoration, wetland enhancement, and water quality improvements for the Benz Creek Drain at Huron Hills Golf Course. Flowing through eight fairways, Benz Creek had become disconnected from its natural floodplain, resulting in recurring flooding and periodic golf course closures. The project included the relocation and restoration of 970 feet of a meandering wet meadow stream and the creation of bioretention areas to provide stormwater management. The project reconnected the creek to its floodplain, allowing stormwater to disperse naturally during high-flow rain events. These improvements reduced flooding and streambank erosion, enhanced water quality, and created healthier natural stream habitats.
