Where can I find out more about materials and methods for restoring and stabilizing stream banks?
The Napa County Resource Conservation District and the California Natural Resources Conservation Service are both good places to find out more about biotechnical erosion control and stream bank stabilization methods and materials. Most RCDs and the NRCS have knowledge and information on when biotechnical erosion control and/or stream bank stabilization are appropriate, what method would be most suitable for different sites, what materials are required, approximate costs, and required permits.
The following website links may also be useful for learning more about materials and methods for biotechnical stream bank stabilization and erosion control:
- California Department of Fish and Game’s Native Anadromous Fish and Watershed Branch: California Salmonid Stream Habitat Restoration Manual
- Klamath Resource Information System: Riparian Restoration
You may also try contacting a local Certified Professional in Erosion and Sediment Control, although not all CPESCs are trained in biotechnical methods.
