Description of Proposed Work
The project includes the restoration of approximately 700 linear feet of stream channel in
the Yates Mill Pond watershed. The construction will include the excavation of topsoil
and sod, construction of a new channel on the floodplain, and placement of fill material
into the old channel to partially fill the channel and create a series of small wetlands and
ponds. Erosion control matting, transplants, mulching, and seeding will be used to
stabilize graded areas. Sod transplants will be used to stabilize the banks of the new
constructed channel. Rock vanes, log vanes, and root wads will be placed in the new
channel and at the toe of the streambanks for bank stabilization and habitat improvement.
One culverted stream crossing will be installed, and 2 existing culverts will be removed.

Stream Meander
Restoration
Transformation of a straightened stream
into a meandering one to reintroduce
natural dynamics improve channel
stability, habitat quality, aesthetics, and
other stream corridor functions or values.
Appendix A
Applications and Effectiveness
• Used to create a more stable stream with more habitat diversity.
• Requires adequate area where adjacent land uses may constrain locations.
• May not be feasible in watersheds experiencing rapid changes in land
uses.
• Streambank protection might be required on the outside of bends.
• Significant risk of failure.
• Requires a high level of analysis.
• May cause significant increases in flood elevations.
• Effective discharge should be computed for both existing and future
conditions, particularly in urbanized watersheds.
For More Information
• Consult the following references: Nos. 13, 16, 22, 23, 24, 46, 47, 52, 53,

INSTREAM PRACTICES
Grade Control Measures
Rock, wood, earth, and other material
structures placed across the channel and
anchored in the streambanks to provide a
"hard point" in the streambed that resists
the erosion forces of the degradational
zone, and/or to reduce the upstream
energy slope to prevent bed scour.
Appendix A
Applications and Effectiveness
• if a stable channel bed is essential to the design, grade control should be
considered as a first step before any restoration measures are imple-
mented (if degradational processes exist in channel system).
• Used to stop headcutting in degrading channels.
• Used to build bed of incised stream to higher elevation.
• Can improve bank stability in an incised channel by reducing bank
heights.
• Man-made scour holes downstream of strictures can provide improved
aquatic habitat.
• Upstream pool areas created by structures provide increased low water
depths for aquatic habitat.
• Potential to become low flow migration barrier.
• -Can be designed to allow fish passage.
• If significant filling occurs upstream of structure, then downstream
channel degradation may result.
• Upstream sediment deposition may cause increased meandering
tendencies.
• Siting of structures is critical component of design process, including soil
mechanics and geotechnical engineering.
• Design of grade control structures should be accomplished by an experi-
enced river engineer.
For More Information
• Consult the following references: Nos. 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 12, 17, 18, 25, 26, 31,

STREAMBANK TREATMENT
Bank Shaping and Planting
Regrading streambanks to a stable slope,
placing topsoil and other materials
needed for sustaining plant growth, and
selecting, installing and establishing
appropriate plant species.
Applications and Effectiveness
• Most successful on streambanks where moderate erosion and channel
migration are anticipated.
• Reinforcement at the toe of the embankment is often needed.
• Enhances conditions for colonization of native species.
• Used in conjunction with other protective practices where flow velocities
exceed the tolerance range for available plants, and where erosion occurs
below base flows.
• Streambank soil materials, probable groundwater fluctuation, and bank
loading conditions are factors for determining appropriate slope condi-
tions.
• Slope stability analyses are recommended.
For More Information
• Consult the following references: nos. 11, 1.1, 56, 61, 65, 67, 68, 77, 79.
Branch Packing
Alternate layers of live branches and
compacted backfill which stabilize and
revegetate slumps and holes in
streambanks.
A-10
Applications and Effectiveness
• Commonly used where patches of streambank have been scoured out or
have slumped leaving a void.
• Appropriate after stresses causing the slump have been removed.
• Less commonly used on eroded slopes where excavation is required to
install the branches.
• Produces a filter barrier that prevents erosion and scouring from
streambank or overbank flows.
• Rapidly establishes a vegetated streambank.
• Enhances conditions for colonization of native species.
• Provides immediate soil reinforcement.
• Live branches serve as tensile inclusions for reinforcement once installed.
• Typically not effective in slump areas greater than four feet deep or four
feet wide.

STREAMBANK TREATMENT
Log, Rootwad, and
Boulder Revetments
Boulders and logs with root masses
attached placed in and on streambanks to
provide streambank erosion, trap
sediment, and improve habitat diversity.
Applications and Effectiveness
• Will tolerate high boundary shear stress if logs and rootwads are well
anchored.
• Suited to streams where fish habitat deficiencies exist.
• Should, where appropriate, be used with soil bioengineering systems and
vegetative plantings to stabilize the upper bank and ensure a regenerative
source of streambank vegetation.
• Will enhance diversity in riparian areas when used with soil bioengineer-
ing systems.
• Will have limited life depending on climate and tree species used. Some
species, such as cottonwood or willow, often sprout and accelerate
colonization.
• Might need eventual replacement if colonization does not take place or
soil bioengineering systems are not used.
• Use of native materials can sequester sediment and woody debris, restore
streambanks in high velocity streams, and improve fish rearing and
spawning habitat.
• Site must be accessible to heavy equipment.
• Materials might not be readily available at some locations.
• Can create local scour and erosion.
• Can be expensive.
For More Information
• Consult the following references: Nos. 11, 34, 77.

STREAMBANK TREATMENT
Live Stakes
Live, woody cuttings which are tamped
into the soil to root, grow and create a
living root mat that stabilizes the soil by
reinforcing and binding soil particles
together, and by extracting excess soil
moisture.
Applications and Effectiveness
• Effective where site conditions are uncomplicated, construction time is
limited, and an inexpensive method is needed.
• Appropriate for repair of small earth slips and slumps that are frequently
wet.
• Can be used to stake down surface erosion control materials.
• Stabilize intervening areas between other soil bioengineering techniques.
• Rapidly restores riparian vegetation and streamside habitat.
• Should, where appropriate, be used with other soil bioengineering
systems and vegetative plantings.
• Enhance conditions for colonization of vegetation from the surrounding
plant community.
• Requires toe protection where toe scour is anticipated.

Description of Proposed Work
The project includes the restoration of approximately 700 linear feet of stream channel in
the Yates Mill Pond watershed. The construction will include the excavation of topsoil
and sod, construction of a new channel on the floodplain, and placement of fill material
into the old channel to partially fill the channel and create a series of small wetlands and
ponds. Erosion control matting, transplants, mulching, and seeding will be used to
stabilize graded areas. Sod transplants will be used to stabilize the banks of the new
constructed channel. Rock vanes, log vanes, and root wads will be placed in the new
channel and at the toe of the streambanks for bank stabilization and habitat improvement.
One culverted stream crossing will be installed, and 2 existing culverts will be removed.

other stream corridor functions or values.
Appendix A
Applications and Effectiveness
• Used to create a more stable stream with more habitat diversity.
• Requires adequate area where adjacent land uses may constrain locations.
• May not be feasible in watersheds experiencing rapid changes in land
uses.
• Streambank protection might be required on the outside of bends.
• Significant risk of failure.
• Requires a high level of anal% is.
• Alay cause significant increases in flood elevations.
• Effective discharge should be computed for both existing and future
conditions, particularly in urbanized watersheds.

INSTREAM PRACTICES
Grade Control Measures
Rock, wood, earth, and other material
structures placed across the channel and
anchored in the streambanks to provide a
"hard point" in the streambed that resists
the erosion forces of the degradational
zone, and/or to reduce the upstream
energy slope to prevent bed scour.
Appendix A
Applications and Effectiveness
• if a stable channel bed is essential to the design, grade control should bt
considered as a first step before any restoration measures are imple-
mented (if degradational processes exist in channel system).
• Used to stop headcutting in degrading channels.
• Used to build bed of incised stream to higher elevation.
• Can improve bank stability in an incised channel by reducing bank
heights.
• Man-made scour holes downstream of structures can provide improved
aquatic habitat.
• Upstream pool areas created by structures provide increased low water
depths for aquatic habitat.
• Potential to become low flow migration barrier.
• Can be designed to allow fish passage.
• if significant filling occurs upstream of structure, then downstream
channel degradation may result.
• Upstream sediment deposition may cause increased meandering
tendencies.
• Siting of structures is critical component of design process, including soil
mechanics and geotechnical engineering.
• Design of grade control structures should be accomplished by an experi-
enced river engineer.
For More Information
• Consult the following references: Nos. 1, 4, 5, G, 7, 12, 17, 18, 25, 26, 31,

STREAMBANK TREATMENT
Bank Shaping and Planting
Regrading streambanks to a stable slope,
placing topsoil and other materials
needed for sustaining plant growth, and
selecting, installing and establishing
appropriate plant species.
Applications and Effectiveness
• Most successful on streambanks where moderate erosion and channel
migration are anticipated.
• Reinforcement at the toe of the embankment is often needed.
• Enhances conditions for colonization of native species.
• Used in conjunction with other protective practices where flow velocities
exceed the tolerance range for available plants, and where erosion occurs
below base flows.
• Streambank soil materials, probable groundwater fluctuation, and bank
loading conditions are factors for determining appropriate slope condi-
tions.
• Slope stability analyses are recommended.
For More Information
• Consult the following references: Kos. 11, 14, 56, 61, 65, 67, 68, 77, 79.
Branch Packing
Alternate layers of live branches and
compacted backfill which stabilize and
revegetate slumps and holes in
streambanks.
A-10
Applications and Effectiveness
• Commonly used where patches of streambank have been scoured out or
have slumped leaving a void.
• Appropriate after stresses causing the slump have been removed.
• Less commonly used on eroded slopes where excavation is required to
install the branches.
• Produces a filter barrier that prevents erosion and scouring from
streambank or overbank flows.
• Rapidly establishes a vegetated streambank.
• Enhances conditions for colonization of native species.
• Provides immediate soil reinforcement.
• Live branches serve as tensile inclusions for reinforcement once installed.
• "Typically not effective in slump areas greater than four feet deep or four
feet wide.

STREAMBANK TREATMENT
Log, Rootwad, and
Boulder Revetments
Boulders and logs with root masses
attached placed in and on streambanks to
provide streambank erosion, trap
sediment, and improve habitat diversity,
Applications and Effectiveness
• Will tolerate high boundary shear stress if logs and rootwads are well
anchored.
• Suited to streams where fish habitat deficiencies exist.
• Should, where appropriate, be used with soil bioengineering systems and
vegetative plantings to stabilize the upper bank and ensure a regenerative
source of streambank vegetation.
• Will enhance diversity in riparian areas when used with soil bioengineer-
ing systems.
• Will have limited life depending on climate and tree species used. Some
species, such as cottonwood or willow, often sprout and accelerate
colonization.
• Might need eventual replacement if colonization does not take place or
soil bioengineering systems are not used.
• Use of native materials can sequester sediment and woody debris, restore
streambanks in high velocity streams, and improve fish rearing and
spawning habitat.
• Site must be accessible to heavy equipment.
• Materials might not be readily available at some locations.
• Can create local scour and erosion.
• Can be expensive.

STREAMBANK TREATMENT
Live Stakes
Live, woody cuttings which are tamped
into the soil to root, grow and create a
living root mat that stabilizes the soil by
reinforcing and binding soil particles
together, and by extracting excess soil
moisture.
Applications and Effectiveness
• Effective where site conditions are uncomplicated, construction time is
limited, and an inexpensive method is needed.
• Appropriate for repair of small earth slips and slumps that are frequently
wet.
• Can be used to stake down surface erosion control materials.
• Stabilize intervening areas between other soil bioengineering techniques.
• Rapidly restores riparian vegetation and streamside habitat.
• Should, where appropriate, be used with other soil bioengineering
systems and vegetative plantings.
• Enhance conditions for colonization of vegetation from the surrounding
plant community.
• Requires toe protection where toe scour is anticipated.
