Green Alternatives to Channel Stabilization
Publication: World Environmental and Water Resources Congress 2009: Great Rivers
Abstract
The purpose of the project was to improve water quality, repair and stabilize eroding banks, and add wetlands to the project site. As mitigation for channel and wetland disturbance on a commercial and residential development in eastern Illinois, Burns & McDonnell performed channel restoration/stabilization using a combination of traditional and green techniques to repair severely eroded bank and construct additional wetlands adjacent to the creek. Canteen Creek is a highly eroded and degraded due to uncontrolled stormwater discharges into the creek upstream of the site. The existing stream has degraded and left vertical banks in many locations.
