S. F. Through Kellogg<br />

East Kellogg<br />

This is the South Fork channel through Kellogg. The banks and levees are made of<br />

contaminated sediments. This material should be stabilized in place to prevent it from<br />

being remobilized by floods and contaminating or recontaminating other areas. Stream<br />

bank stabilization of this area was left out of the Focused Feasibility Study, presumably<br />

because it would involve flood control actions. If EPA is going to clean up or stabilize<br />

impacted floodplains of the South Fork they need to address all of the impacted<br />

floodplains. In doing this they should do a thorough evaluation of the effects of flooding<br />

and mitigate those effects as a part of contaminate management.
