STREAMBANK RESTORATION ON THE WABASH RIVER. THIS PROJECT ADDRESSES 2,400 LINEAR FEET OF ACTIVELY ERODING BANKS, TYPICALLY 10-13 FEET IN HEIGHT, AND 600 LINEAR FEET OF GRADING INSIDE THE FLOODPLAIN. THE PROJECT FOCUSES ON RIVER RESTORATION UTILIZING ROCK AND WOOD TOE STABILIZATION TO PREVENT TOE EROSION AND REESTABLISHING A RIPARIAN BUFFER ZONE. FLOODPLAIN GRADING WILL RESTORE AN INNER BERM AND FLOOD BENCH TO ALLEVIATE OUTSIDE BANK SHEAR STRESS, SUPPORT APPROPRIATE SEDIMENT TRANSPORT AND FLOOD CAPACITY. WOOD REINCORPORATED INTO THE TOE STABILIZATION WILL PROVIDE HABITATDIVERSITY, CHANNEL ROUGHNESS TO DISSIPATE ENERGY, AND TRAP FOR AQUATIC FOOD SOURCES LIKE SMALL STICKS AND LEAVES. NATIVE SEED AND 950 NATIVE BARE ROOT SHRUB AND TREE PLANTINGS WILL BE APPLIED TO THE BANK AND TOP OF BANK TO SUPPORT VEGETATION GROWTH, PROVIDE A MORE NATURAL FUNCTION TO THE BANK, AND ADD HABITAT VALUE FOR WILDLIFE.
