Description:

"The Calabash Boom Drainage Basin contains two main ghuts that drain an uphill residential area with a steep, primarily unpaved road. Road grading modifications shifted some of the stormwater runoff to an adjacent ghut resulting in greater stormwater flows in this ghut. Additionally, construction of a housing complex in the Calabash Boom alluvial plain reduced its ability to clean sediment and infiltrate ghut flows from the surrounding hills. These actions plus erosion from the unpaved road increased sediment loads to Johnson Bay beginning in 2006, threatening coral reef habitat (Photos 1-3). The goal of this project is to stabilize an unpaved road and construct additional sediment and erosion control best management practices (BMPs); thereby, reducing sediment entering Johnson Bay"--Executive summary.
