2 Stream Assessment & Restoration Design (Urban and Suburban Watersheds) Touch Points: Despite all the challenges, we are trending in the right direction restoring functional processes and improving the ecosystems along our stream corridors kudos to practitioners, agencies and academia Functional Lift + Ecological Uplift = Functional Uplift Upstream hydrology can limit wq and biological lift Case Studies of 2 floodplain reconnection projects - highlight issues with functional assessment structural condition parameters, design challenges, predicted and measured outcomes How Can We Maximize Functional Uplift?
3 Challenges of Stream Restoration in Urban and Suburban Watersheds Tributary to Rock Creek Washington, DC Flashy hydrology Severely impaired biology and water quality Pre-Restoration: 10 ft channel incision Post-Restoration: connection with riparian zone Degradation and entrenched channels requiring fill to attain floodplain reconnection to limit forest impacts and given built environment? Property ownership Built environment/infrastructure
4 Challenges of Stream Restoration in Urban and Suburban Watersheds Biggest Challenge: Hydrology is often a given so reach impacts from upstream sources persist coupled with limitations by reach specific constraints making improvements to biology and water quality are difficult
5 Functional Value Progression of Stream Restoration Next? Integrated Stream and Floodplain Techniques Natural Channel Design Conveyance/Concrete Channels Pipe Bury Headwater Streams Rip-Rap, Gabion, Bank and Bed Treatments Time
6 Functional Value Drivers of Stream Restoration Next? Stream Restoration for Bay TMDLs/NPDES Credits Aquatic Habitat Enhancement Water Quality Improvements Improved Channel Form Conveyance of Flows Protection/Promotion of Built Environment Time
7 Challenges Encountered During Design and Permitting Site Constraints & Watershed Hydrology Assessing Stream and Stream Valley Functions given funds, timeframes, etc. Gaining Buy-in on New Innovative Approaches Predicting Outcomes Demonstrating/Measuring Ecological or Functional Lift
8 Functional Uplift Based Stream Assessment & Restoration Design? Ecological Uplift and Functional Lift = Functional Uplift #1 - strives to further compliment more form based approaches (conveyance, stability and/or dynamic equilibrium based natural channel design) with an increasing emphasis on function #2 - predictably and successfully demonstrates measurable improvement to stream and stream valley processes #3 pairs whole systems thinking - Ecological Uplift with a parameter specific process based evaluation - Functional Lift
9 Parameters that relate to structural conditions of streams are largely based on natural channel design assessment bankfull channel dimensions overview.jpg
