Sand Creek Ecosystem Restoration

The Sand Creek Corridor runs through the center of Newton, KS. Built by the Corps of Engineers in the 1960s, it was designed to alleviate flooding problems. The T-WALL® Retaining Wall System was selected to restore the corridor and surrounding ecosystem. The restoration encompassed 1.7 miles of the corridor and included bank restoration, the creation of 35-acres of wetlands, and two hardwood tree planting areas. Native grasses were planted along the creek.
