Description In February of 2013, the Staggs' family began the removal of their Lake Spokane shoreline property bulkhead. This time-lapse video shows the removal of the bulkhead, reconstruction of a natural lake shoreline, and planting of native vegetation.

Ecology would like to thank the Staggs family for providing a time-lapse video of their project to share. Thanks also to the Lake Spokane Association, Spokane Conservation District, Stevens County Conservation District, Governor's Office for Regulatory Innovation and Assistance, Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, US Army Corps of Engineers, Spokane County, and Avista Utilities for helping make this project possible.

Funding for this project came from Ecology's Water Quality Program's Direct Implementation Fund. This fund is a subset of federal grant funds dedicated specifically to addressing nonpoint sources of pollution such as residential runoff and erosion.
