Abstract
The fabric-encapsulated soil (FES) method to provide bioengineered stream bank protection is described and discussed in the context of five projects constructed between 1991–96. This technique utilizes a stone toe protection, an internal gravel filter, soil lifts wrapped in biodegradable coir fabric, and an aggressive revegetation plan. Project reviews suggest that successful implementation of this technique relies, in part, on consideration for toe-of-slope protection, the lower limit of perennial vegetation, the relationship between fabric decay and plant establishment, the use of appropriate soils, and thorough construction oversight.
