Fenwick Consultant FOREWORD Establishment of the Committee on Channel Stabilization in April 1962 was confirmed by Engineer Regulation 15-2-1, dated 1 November 1962. As stated in ER 15-2-1, the objectives of the Committee with respect to channel stabilization are: a. To review and evaluate pertinent information and disseminate the results thereof. b. To determine the need for and recommend a program of research; and to have advisory technical review responsibility for research assigned to the Committee. £. To determine basic principles and design criteria. d. To provide, at the request of field offices, advice on design and operational problems. In accordance with the desire of the Committee to inventory available data, reports, papers, etc., pertaining to channel stabilization, arrangements were made for the Research Center Library, U. S. Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station, to undertake compilation of the present volume. The bibliography consists of eight sections, as indicated by the table of contents which follows. An appendix containing a group of plans and specifications issued by the U. S. Army Engineer District, Little Rock, has been added to the main bibliography at the request of the Office, Chief of Engineers, as a sample of similar information which may be available in other offices concerned with channel stabilization projects. All items listed in this report are available in the Research Center Library except a few, and for these the Library can supply the name and address of the holder. Copies of this and other reports of the Committee on Channel Stabilization may be obtained from the U. S. Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station, P. 0. Box 631?

  • Protection Against Wave-Based Erosion
    Protection against Wave­based Erosion The guidelines below address the elements of shore structure design common to nearly all erosion control structures subject to direct wave action and run-up. 1. Minimize the extent waterward. Erosion control structures should be designed with the smallest waterward footprint possible. This minimizes the occupation of the lake bottom, limits habitat loss and usually results in a lower cost to construct the project. In the case of stone revetments, the crest width should be only as wide as necessary for a stable structure. In general, the revetment should follow the cross-section of the bluff or dune and be located as close to the bluff or dune as possible. For seawalls, the distance that the structure extends waterward of the upland must be minimized. If the seawall height is appropriately designed to prevent the majority of overtopping, there is no engineering rationale based only on erosion control which justifies extending a seawall out into the water. 2. Minimize the impacts to adjacent properties. The design of the structure must consider the potential for damaging adjacent property. Projects designed to extend waterward of the shore will affect the movement of littoral material, reducing the overall beach forming process which in turn may cause accelerated erosion on adjacent or down-drift properties with less protective beaches. Seawalls, (and to a lesser extent, stone revetments) change the direction (wave reflection) and intensity of wave energy along the shore. Wave reflection can cause an increase in the total energy at the seawall or revetment interface with the water, allowing sand and gravel to remain suspended in the water, which will usually prevent formation of a beach directly fronting the structure.

Davis Department of Geography Department of Earth Science Mississippi State University Nicholls State University Starkville, Mississippi 38759 Thibodaux, Louisiana 70301 United States of America United States of America INTRODUCTION Louisiana's 40,000 Inn 2 coastal zone developed over the last 7,000 years by the progradation, aggradation, and accretion of sediments introduced via various courses of the Mississippi River (Frazier 1967). The deltaic plain (32,000 km'), through which the modern river cuts diagon­ ally !Fig , 1), consists of vast wetlands and waterbodies. With eleva­ tions ranging from sea level up to 1.5 m, it is interrupted by natural levee ridges which decrease distally until they disappear beneath the marsh surface. The downdrift chenier plain of southwest Louisiana (8,000 km') consists of marshes, large round-to-oblong lakes, and stranded, oak covered beach ridges known as cheniers (Howe et al. 1935). This landscape is the result of alternating long-term phases of shoreline accretion and erosion that were dependent upon the proximit of an active sediment-laden river, and a low-energy marine environment (Byrne et al. 1959). Since the dyking of the Mississippi River, fluvial sedimentation in the deltaic plain has effectively been halted. Today, most Missis­ sippi River sediment is deposited on the outer continental shelf; only at the mouth of the Atchafalaya River distributary is deltaic sedimen­ tation subaerially significant (Adams and Baumann 1980). Over mos of the coastal zone, subsidence, saltwater intrusion, wave erosion, canalization, and other hydrologic modification have led to a rapid increase in the surface area of water (Davis 1986, Walker e al.

    Outdated Publication, for historical use. CAUTION: Recommendations in this publication may be obsolete. Kansas State University Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service Kansas State University, Division of Biology Kansas Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Kansas Department of Wildlife & Parks STREAMBANK REVETMENT 1 Outdated Publication, for historical use. CAUTION: Recommendations in this publication may be obsolete. Introduction Streambank erosion is a naturally occurring process in streams and rivers throughout the United States. Accelerated streambank erosion occurs when natural events or human activities cause a higher than expected amount of erosion, and is typically a result of reduced or eliminated riparian (streamside) vegetation. The removal of riparian vegetation is the primary factor influenc- ing streambank stability. Historically, channel straightening (channelization) was the primary method used to control streambank erosion. However, since the 1970s, riparian and in-stream habitat restoration by natural or artificial meth- ods has grown in popularity because channel- ization typically caused problems, such as ero- sion and flooding dowstream. Natural resource agencies throughout the Midwest have been using tree revetments as one type of streambank stabilization structure. What are tree revetments? Tree revetments are a series of trees laid in the stream along the eroding bank. They are de- signed to reduce water velocity, increase siltation within the trees, and reduce slumping of the streambank. Tree revetments are not designed to permanently stabilize eroding streambanks. They should stabilize the streambank until other stabi- lization techniques, such as tree plantings in the riparian area become established. Tree revet- ments are not designed to fix problems at a watershed level.

These anchored trees revetment at the base or toe serve to slow the current of the eroding bank.

  • APPENDIX L L.1 Principal Mechanism of Sea Dike and Revetment Failure In
    APPENDIX L FAILURE MECHANISMS AND PROTECTION OF DIKE SLOPE AND DIKE TOE L.1 Principal mechanism of sea dike and revetment failure in Vietnam Fig. L-1 illustrates common failure mechanism for sea dikes. Note that the occurrence of a certain mechanism will sequentially result in others, and consequently leads to dike breach. For example, the foreshore erosion or dike toe erosion will cause the instability of toe structures or dike toe. This instability will result in the instability and failure of the revetment if no remedial solutions are adopted. Consequently, under the impacts of waves, unprotected dike slopes will be eroded. The erosion continues until the dike body is entirely destroyed, leading to dike failure. Figure L-1.

    RIVER RESEARCH AND APPLICATIONS River Res. Applic. (2013) Published online in Wiley Online Library (wileyonlinelibrary.com) DOI: 10.1002/rra.2631 A STREAM EVOLUTION MODEL INTEGRATING HABITAT AND ECOSYSTEM BENEFITS B. CLUERa* and C. THORNEb a Fluvial Geomorphologist, Southwest Region, NOAA’s National Marine Fisheries Service, Santa Rosa, California, USA b Chair of Physical Geography, University of Nottingham, Nottingham, UK ABSTRACT For decades, Channel Evolution Models have provided useful templates for understanding morphological responses to disturbance associated with lowering base level, channelization or alterations to the flow and/or sediment regimes. In this paper, two well-established Channel Evolution Models are revisited and updated in light of recent research and practical experience. The proposed Stream Evolution Model includes a precursor stage, which recognizes that streams may naturally be multi-threaded prior to disturbance, and represents stream evolution as a cyclical, rather than linear, phenomenon, recognizing an evolutionary cycle within which streams advance through the common sequence, skip some stages entirely, recover to a previous stage or even repeat parts of the evolutionary cycle. The hydrologic, hydraulic, morphological and vegetative attributes of the stream during each evolutionary stage provide varying ranges and qualities of habitat and ecosystem benefits. The authors’ personal experience was combined with information gleaned from recent literature to construct a fluvial habitat scoring scheme that distinguishes

  • Preliminary Draft Levy Rate Scenarios for Capital Projects
    King County Regional Flood Control Zone District Advisory Committee Preliminary Draft: Levy Rate Scenarios for Capital Projects Notes: 1. Questions for Advisory Committee meeting on 6/22: (a) Do you want to include projects that address coastal erosion and inundation hazards? (b) Do you support including new project submittals as part of this list? (c) What levy rate do you support? (d) Do you want to fund subregional projects? If so, at what level? 2. Project costs are planning estimates only. Constant dollar (2006) costs are used to control for the effect of inflation on project sequencing. Operating costs for programmatic elements of work program are not included. 3. All new capital projects submitted to the BTCs as 'Regional' are included in this list and shaded. New capital projects total $55 million. New project submittals range in cost from $100,000 (Carnation - Tolt Supplemental Study) to $21,900,000 (Bellevue- Coal Creek Phase 1 and 2). 4. Projects submitted as 'subregional' are included at the end of this list. No call for proposals was issued for this category, and no scoring has been conducted by the BTCs. We have received $57.8 million in proposals to date, and expect that this amount would increase substantially if an RFP were issued. 5. Changes from the 6/8/07 List: (a) The two Bellevue projects submitted as 'Regional' are included. Coal Creek project sequenced in two phases of $12.5 million and $9.4 million based on discussions with Bellevue staff (b) Dorre Don Meanders phased to reduce costs to $7.5 million in the 10-yr window, remaining acquisition costs of $7 million assumed in Phase 2.
