;Abstract: To acquire appropriation, the primary step is that the levee’s cultural significance needs to be known. Concessions are currently the only way, lawfully, for all stakeholders involved to create long term solutions for the Redwood Creek estuary. The creek’s estuary sits at the western end of the flawed levee system. Science proves an error was made within the levee’s construction during the years 1963 to 1968. The design flaw invades the estuary causing extreme damage to the creek’s ecosystem. The alluvial creek is a vital waterway to some of the last remaining old-growth redwood trees. Existing agencies have been forced to manage a design flaw for over 48 years. Additional factors including area history, chosen aesthetics, social dynamics and spiritual myths cause immense complexities that make correction of the project’s equation difficult. The effects this flaw has on this ancient forest remain largely unknown, yet the damage done to fish populations has been passionately documented for years. This civil engineering blemish has also factored into the failure of the environmental, social and economic health for the levee's community known as Orick, California. This error can only be corrected by congressional appropriation. Qualitative Research conducted in 2016 shows that all interested parties feel that action needs to take place to restore a more natural flow to the creek. The Wiki Platform will be part of this call to action. WikiMedia will provide the wisdom gained from applied anthropology to disclose this knowledge. By clarifying the understanding of the levee and all of its facets, efforts will move forward in restoring the natural resilience of this waterway. After fruitful dissemination of all content to aid with restoration efforts this published information will be accessible directly on the Orick Wikipedia page. A separate Dublin core based site will remain fixed with all given & known information in regards to the levee. Wiki, by its very nature is not fixed, will provide an accountable measure and evolving recording within its running history provided by the Dublin core based site. The title of the Dublin core based site domain will be Levee Stories. This will give two easily reachable domains to retrieve all current existing relevant information. (362 words)

Abstract
An error was made within the construction of the earthen levees in Orick, California. Fault was admitted shortly after the levees’ completion in 1968. Observation shows this design flaw invades the Redwood Creek estuary. This unwarranted annexation causes extreme damage to the ecosystem. The estuary sits at the western end of the flawed system known as the Redwood Creek Flood Control Project (RCFCP). The RCFCP is in the remote Pacific Northwest region of North America in Humboldt County. The alluvial creek is a vital waterway to some of the last remaining old-growth redwood trees. Effects which this flaw has on the ancient forest remain largely unknown, yet the damage done to fish populations has been passionately documented for years. Additional factors including area history, chosen aesthetics, social dynamics and spiritual myths cause immense complexities that make correction of the project’s equation difficult. From fieldwork and archival research to mixed methods conducted in 2016, results showed that across management theater work needs to take place to restore a more natural flow to the creek. To acquire the appropriation needed to aid in rehabilitation of the estuary, the primary step is to make the levee’s cultural significance known. The Wikimedia foundation allows the wisdom gained from the applied anthropological studies to be disseminated to a larger community. After fruitful broadcast of all current content to aid towards congressional efforts was published under a fixed Dublin Core based website, the information was also made accessible directly from a Wikipedia page.
