Crystal Creek Quarry Rehabilitation - Planting Pockets - Winter, 2012

Photographs of seedlings planted in pockets to facilitate the revegetation of the Crystal Creek Rock Quarry within Whiskeytown National Recreation Area. Prior to establishment of Whiskeytown in 1965, a 10.7-mile tunnel was constructed to link Lewiston Reservoir in the Trinity watershed with Whiskeytown Lake in the Clear Creek watershed to supply water to the Central Valley. As a result of tunneling, approximately 350,000 cubic yards of waste rock is stored at the Crystal Creek Quarry site, which covers about 25 acres. Restoration of this site took place between 2010 and 2012.
