Two Stage Evaluation of NCDOT Stream Mitigation Practices: Stage 1. Synthesis of Current Stream Mitigation Practices. Stage 2. Development of Criteria of Effective Mitigation

摘要

This project included a thorough review of scientific literature related to stream restoration techniques and practices in addition to development of a design handbook. Literature review topics included fluvial processes, bioengineering, natural channel design, habitat improvement structures, stream stability, and sediment transport. The handbook includes detailed descriptions of successful current and proven stream restoration practices integrated into a usable and reliable cost-effective process for NCDOT. Chapter 11 in the Handbook is a comprehensive process to support evaluation of successful stream restoration.
