Eldridge Streambank Stabilization project on the Mitchell River,
Surry County, North Carolina
Prepared By
Joe Mickey, State Road, North Carolina
For
Ned Eldridge, 401 East Farris Avenue, High Point North Carolina 27262
November 1, 2018
Introduction
Mr. Ned Eldridge proposes to stabilize approximately 100 linear feet (If) of eroding streambank along
the Mitchell River with rock toe protection and two small rock vanes to prevent further bank erosion that
occurred following Tropical Storm Michael on his property. The project site is located on the Mitchell
River, Surry County, North Carolina (Figure 1 and Figure 2). A site visit was conducted on November
22, 2018 by Joe Mickey to determine the type of measures needed to stabilize the eroding streambanks.
This plan identifies the stream issues and measures to correct the streambank erosion problem. Surry
County is a trout county and the Mitchell River is classified as C -Trout, Outstanding Resource Water by
the State of NC. It should be noted that several streambank stabilization projects have been completed in
the past on the Mitchell River upstream from this site.
Project Description and Methods
Bank Stabilization
The unprecedented flooding from Tropical Storm Michael caused the failure of the Kapps Mill Dam
0.4 mile upstream from this site. This flooding caused 501f feet of bank failure at one location (Figure 3)
and increased bank erosion along 501f at another location (Figure 4) on Mr. Eldridge's property. Where
the bank failed a rock toe structure with bank re -shaping (Figure 5) is proposed to restore the bank and
prevent future bank erosion. At the other location two short rock vanes (Figure 6) are proposed to
stabilize an eroding bank.
Natural stream restoration guidelines will be based upon principles developed by Dave Rosgen, 1996.
Less than 500 sq. ft. (0.011) of soil will be disturbed during construction. Once the structures are
installed, the bank will be re -sloped and seeded and protected with a straw ground cover. Live stakes of
silky willow, silky dogwood and elderberry will be installed to provide long term bank stability.
Conclusion
This streambank stabilization project will impact less than 0.011 acres of stream and streambanks.
Once completed, the project will eliminate bank erosion and failure along the Mitchell River on the
Eldridge property.
