Natural Channel Design Review Checklist Workshop 

 



Workshop Description

This course provides participants with training on how to use the Natural Channel Design Review Checklist. The course starts with an overview of stream processes, channel stability and function, restoration potential, and natural channel design techniques. Exercises are used to reinforce the concepts. From there, the participants are introduced to the Checklist and use it to review two case studies. A field trip is taken to demonstrate measurement techniques and to critique a local restoration project. Participants will leave the workshop prepared to apply the Checklist to future designs submitted for their review, or as an aid to help determine the tasks required to complete a natural channel design.

Who Should Attend?

1.      Members of Interagency Review Teams, In-Lieu Fee Providers, and Mitigation Bankers

2.      Federal, State and Local Agencies with regulatory responsibilities

3.      Professional Engineers responsible for quality assurance/quality control of natural channel designs
