Pointofcontactis Mr. Allen,telephone (601) 634-3845.Bioengineering for Streambank Erosion Control; Report 1, Guidelines(TR EL-97-8)ISSUE: The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is oftenrestricted from using
10、 hard structures, such as riprap orconcrete-lined channels, for streambank erosion controlbecause of environmental reasons or high cost. Bioengi-neering is the combination of biological, mechanical, andecological concepts to control erosion and stabilize soilthrough the use of vegetation or a combin
11、ation of it andconstruction materials. Both living and nonliving plantscan be used. Nonliving plants are used as constructionmaterials, similar to engineered materials. Planted vege-tation controls erosion and serves as good wildlife andfisheries habitat in riparian systems. Guidelines are gen-erall
12、y lacking for use of bioengineering treatment onstreambanks, which often explains why bioengineering isnot used more often.RESEARCH OBJECTIVE: This investigation docu-ments successful bioengineering attempts in Europe andthe United States by surveying the literature, relatingpersonal observations in
13、 Europe and the United States bythe authors, and by monitoring recently applied bioengi-neering treatments on several stream systems in variousparts of the United States. Several case studies wheretreatments were installed and monitored appear in Report 2.Examples of other treaments at various locat
14、ions arerelated in Report 1. Attempts were made, where possible,to document local flow velocities and average streamvelocities to which treatments were applied. Thus, anempirical way of approximating some tolerance thresh-olds is presented that will aid designers in choosingappropriate treatments.SU
15、MMARY: This study provides guidelines for usingbioengineering treatments in a prudent manner while tem-pering their widespread use with precautions. Precau-tions consist of properly designing bioengineering pro-jects with enough hardness to prevent both undercuttingthe streambank toe and erosion of
16、the upper and lowerends (flanking) of the treated project reach. This can beaccomplished with one or both of (a) hard toe and flankingprotection, e.g., rock riprap, refusals, and (b) deflection ofwater away from the target reach to be protected throughdeflection structures, e.g., groins, hard points
17、, and dikes.With both of these methods, appropriate plant speciesshould be used in a manner consistent with their naturalhabitats, that is, in an effort to emulate natural conditionsor processes. This is often done with streambank zonesthat more or less correspond with microhabitats of nativeplant s
18、pecies in local stream environments. Where possi-ble, both herbaceous and woody species are used withgrass or grass-like plants in the lowermost zone that isplanted; shrubby, woody vegetation is used in the middlezone; and, for the most part, larger shrubs and trees areestablished in the uppermost z
19、one. These zones are re-spectively called the “splash, bank, and terrace zones.”AVAILABILITY: The report is available on InterlibraryLoan Service from the U.S. Army Engineer WaterwaysExperiment Station (WES) Library, 3909 Halls FerryRoad, Vicksburg, MS 39180-6199; telephone (601)634-2355.
