I'm amazed that the TS Irene restoration didn't get managed to provide this kind of outcome. We obviously missed a great opportunity when the rivers were all torn up. Perhaps we should have left the scour condition and storm debris as Irene left it and just rebuilt our infrastructure to the new rivers. Of course I say this not just as a civil engineer, but also as a fly fisherman.
I was glad to hear that you plant black willow trees as part of this project. Do you also plant another river tree like Eastern Cottonwood and Water Elm? River trees provide up to 80 % of the food that the aquatic inhabitants need in a stream or river.
Nice combinations or rip-rap and large woody debris. Personally like V-Weirs for in-channel structure. Think you went way overboard with the rootwad placement. Could have utilized them more to increase sinuousity. Not how I'd designed it But hey, if it works? Good!
Good stuff. You should do an update video and show how it looks now, maybe do an electro shock of this section and show us what's in it.

Great.
Thx for yiur hard work.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Wait.. All of these are what beaver do, all the time, for free...
✌️✌️✌️👍👍👍🇭🇷🇭🇷
using heavy machinery instead of using beavers is the most americna thing ever.
Could beavers have done the job cheaper?
Nope. So far gone by manipulating by man that these treatments are needed
Only a fool would think that cutting down trees to create a river bed is a good idea.
Obviously you’re a fish biologist......🤦♂️🖕. Idiot.
You are the fool. Been doing this for 25+ years and it works EVERY TIME!
And you would have done?
