Tina Krueger of Steady Stream Hydrology and Sheridan resident Bryan Miller look over the results of a project to restore about 350 feet of river bank along Big Goose Creek on Thursday, Sept. 16, 2021. The project was needed to help protect a nearby water pipeline, after flooding eroded the bank by as much as 25 feet in spots, according to Miller.

SHERIDAN — A collaborative effort between a private land owner, a local business and government agencies recently led to the restoration of more than 350 feet of river bank along Big Goose Creek.

Bryan Miller, who owns 160-plus acres southwest of Sheridan on Big Goose Road, teamed with Steady Stream Hydrology to repair the river bank that had been damaged by flooding and erosion. Not only did the nearly $100,000 project help restore the natural flow of the creek, it also helped protect a nearby waterline.
