ap or gabion baskets are required, vegetation must be included in <strong>the</strong> design in an “Integrated”project approach. Native plant revegetation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> bank top and adjacent bank slope areas, to <strong>the</strong>maximum extent feasible, is also to be an important component <strong>of</strong> a project. The type anddensity <strong>of</strong> vegetation will be dependent on <strong>the</strong> method <strong>of</strong> bank protection used and <strong>the</strong> physicalproperties <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> stream where <strong>the</strong> repair is taking place.In Natural Channels and where flow conveyance requirements are minimal and flow velocitiesare generally moderate, vegetative methods for stream bank repair are to be selected. In AlteredNatural Channels, Constructed Natural Channels, or Modified Channels where <strong>the</strong> channelis used to convey flood flows, and where <strong>the</strong> flow requirements must be retained (such as for <strong>the</strong>25-year flood), conveyance constraints will dictate a roughness maximum which, depending on<strong>the</strong> channel design, may limit <strong>the</strong> vegetation component <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> design, and necessitate periodicvegetation management. Emphasis shall be placed on selection <strong>of</strong> appropriate Biotechnical andIntegrated approaches, as outlined in Section 3.6 <strong>of</strong> this <strong>Manual</strong>.Streambank stabilization usually involves one or a combination <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> following activities: Regrading and revegetating <strong>the</strong> streambanks to eliminate overhanging banks andcreate a more stable slope; Deflecting erosional water flow away from vulnerable sites; Reducing <strong>the</strong> steepness <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> channel bed through installation <strong>of</strong> grade stabilizationstructures; Altering <strong>the</strong> geometry <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> channel to influence flow velocities and sedimentdeposition; Diverting a portion <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> higher flow into a secondary or by-pass channel; Armoring or protecting <strong>the</strong> bank to control erosion, particularly at <strong>the</strong> toe <strong>of</strong> slope.Armoring <strong>the</strong> bank takes a variety <strong>of</strong> forms, some <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>m structural, but most capable <strong>of</strong>incorporating revegetation as an essential component. The optimum, or preferred, treatment atany location along a creek is to be a function <strong>of</strong>:• Existing bank conditions;• Proximity <strong>of</strong> structures;• Cost; and,• Environmental impacts.The least environmental damaging solution feasible must be selected.Determination <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> appropriate bank erosion control method is to be based on an inspection <strong>of</strong><strong>the</strong> stream upstream and downstream <strong>of</strong> a project site to determine if <strong>the</strong>re is an identifiablecause <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> erosion. In some cases, <strong>the</strong> cause <strong>of</strong> erosion is obvious, such as a blockage (e.g.,downed tree), or weak stream banks <strong>of</strong> silt or gravel. In o<strong>the</strong>r cases, a fur<strong>the</strong>r inspection isnecessary to determine if flows are being directed toward <strong>the</strong> bank from a source upstream, orwhe<strong>the</strong>r <strong>the</strong> channel (bed) is down cutting. These factors can affect selection <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> bankprotection technique to be implemented.SLO Creek <strong>Drainage</strong> <strong>Design</strong> <strong>Manual</strong> 51 February 2003
