Example of Restoration Projects:
This stream restoration project restored an extremely degraded reach of a river which had collapsed. Restoration work included removal of the fallen concrete bridge decking and remnants of the bridge abutments. Rootwad streambank stabilization techniques stabilized the stream banks. River water forces are deflected away from the bank by the root structure, limiting bank erosion. In addition, the roots provide a source of food for aquatic insects, fish habitat and habitat for other aquatic animals. Live stake plantings decrease soil erosion and enhance soil drainage characteristics. The restoration has restored fish passage through this section, stabilized the river banks and prevented continued erosion.
