Abstract
Described is a project intended to restore habitats along 2 km of a sand bed stream severely damaged by channel incision. Structural measures are limited to placement of large woody debris and planting switchgrasses and woody vegetation. Assessment of pre-project channel stability and design of large woody debris structures are described. If successful, this approach will offer significant cost savings over traditional approaches involving stone bank protection structures.
