In some of my adventuring this summer I chanced to stop by Tincup Creek on my way to Wyoming. Much to my surprise it was thick with mud, so I drove up it a little ways to see what was going on with it.
Big equipment and lots of digging was what was going on.

They have started a three year project to restore the meanders and erosion damage to about 4 miles of the creek.
Where they are working and below is really muddy, but much of what they have done is starting to clear up.
Here is a picture of a meander that they have reopened and some other stream repairs in the second picture.

From what I could see, they are doing a beautiful job. Just don't expect a crystal clear stream for a few years.
Here are some links to information on the project:
