Red River - Hallock

The Hallock Two Rivers demonstration site is one of the first completed in Phase II of the Riparian Project.
The demonstration was initiated by the MN DNR at a location where the local highway department had an interest in
protecting a township road bridge. The township proposed shortening a meander in the channel to protect the road embankment.
Although the RAC did not agree with channel straightening, they did agree the project should try to use the site as a bioengineering
demonstration since the work would be completed by the county regardless of their participation. These practices were completed in fall
1998. The bioengineering at the site was initially successful as indicated by photo point monitoring the following year.
