... Maintains that bank-protection measures should be selected to address site- and reach-based conditions to avoid habitat impacts. Suggests consideration of methods other than riprap armoring, such as roughening a bank line, directing flow away from an eroding bank, revegetation, floodplain management, maintaining riparian corridors, restoring oxbows/wetlands, relocating at-risk infrastructures, and managing meander belts.

... A thumbnail summary at the beginning of each note provides information on relative cost, complexity, and benefit of each measure. The following technical notes are particularly relevant and useful: EMRRP-SR-01 Glossary of Stream Feb 2000 Restoration Terms EMRRP-SR-04 Coir Geotextile Roll and Feb 2000 Wetland Plants for Streambank Erosion Control EMRRP-SR-06 Habitat Requirements Feb 2000 for Freshwater Fishes EMRRP-SR-07 Resistance Due to May 2000 Vegetation EMRRP-SR-08 Determining Drag Feb 2000 Coefficients and Area for Vegetation EMRRP-SR-09 Reconnection of Floodplains May 2000 with Incised Channels EMRRP-SR-11 Boulder Clusters Feb 2000 EMRRP-SR-12 Irrigation Systems for Feb 2000 Establishing Vegetation EMRRP-SR-13 Streambank Enhancements May 2000 with Large Woody Debris EMRRP-SR-21 Rootwad Composites for May 2000 Streambank Control and Fish Habitat Improvement EMRRP-SR-23 Brush Mattresses for May 2000 Streambank Erosion Control EMRRP-SR-24 Design Recommendations Apr 2000 for Riparian Corridors and Vegetated Buffer Strips EMRRP-SR-28 Units and Conversions for May 2001 Stream Restoration Projects EMRRP-SR-29 Stability Thresholds for May 2001 Stream Restoration Materials EMRRP-SR-31 Live and Inert Fascine May 2001 Streambank Erosion Control EMRRP-SR-32 Impacts of Stabilization May 2001 Measures EMRRP-SR-33 Plant Material Selection May 2001 and Acquisition 8 Guidelines for Stream and Wetland Protection.
