Proposal
An error was made within the construction of an earthen levee in Orick, California. Shortly after the levee’s completion in 1968, fault was admitted. Observation shows this design flaw invades the Redwood Creek estuary. This unwarranted annexation causes extreme damage to the ecosystem. Additional factors including area history, chosen aesthetics, social dynamics and spiritual myths, cause immense complexities that make correction of the project’s equation difficult. This civil engineering blemish has also factored into the failure of the environmental, social and economic health of Orick's community. From authentic fieldwork and archival research to mixed methods conducted in 2016, results show that all interested parties feel that work needs to take place. To acquire the appropriation needed to aid in restoration of the estuary, the primary step is to make the levee’s cultural significance known. Wikimedia allows the wisdom gained from applied anthropological studies to disseminate this knowledge to a larger community. After fruitful broadcasting of all content to aid with restoration efforts is published, information will be accessible directly on the Orick Wikipedia page. A separate Dublin Core based site remains fixed with all given and known facts in regard to the RCFCP. (193 word count)
