What Will I Learn?
Stream health is associated with human activities and a complex combination of processes. A poor understanding of these processes and inadequate consideration of changes that occur on the landscape and within the floodplain can cause a variety of adverse outcomes.
Particular attention needs to be paid to the potential impact on a stream of:
- land use changes that reduce vegetation and increase the amount of impervious area;
- activities that modify the floodplain;
- the construction of culverts and bridges; and
- activities that are designed to modify the characteristics of the main stream channel.
Successful stream stewardship requires combining knowledge and understanding of these activities with sound engineering and scientific principles, together with an understanding of stream ecology and its interaction with the landscape.

This four-day course is designed to for engineers and designers to gain familiarity with AutoCAD as a stream monitoring and restoration design tool. Students will explore the features of the Land Desktop and Civil Series extensions of AutoCAD and learn how to apply these tools to stream monitoring and restoration design projects. Students will also be provided with the opportunity to evaluate and graphically design a stream restoration project using their newly acquired skills. Each student will have access to a computer for use during the course.
Thursday, September 7
Workshop 2: CPESC, Inc. Certification Review Course
(1 day, 8:00 - 5:00 pm, Ballroom III; Dan Ross, CPESC, Inc.)
Participants will review proper installation, maintenance, and inspection, of erosion prevention and sediment control measures at construction sites in preparation for the CPESC certification examination (www.cpesc.net). Register for the workshop via the conference registration form. Class size is limited to 40 participants. Priority will be given to those taking the certification examination on September 8. Conference discounts do apply.
Workshop 3: Understanding the Geomorphology and Ecology of Stream Systems. (1 day, 8:00 - 5:00 pm, Ballroom I; Herricks, Williams, Ward)
This 1-day workshop will use a student-centered learning approach combined with real world problem solving and group interaction to learn: how channel dimensions are related to bankfull discharge, sediment transport, and land use; how functional ecology of fish and macroinvertebrate communities is influenced by in-stream habitat and land use; how to apply this type of knowledge to stream design and management.
Workshop 4: Introduction to RIVERMorph
(1 day, 8:00-5:00 pm, Ballroom V; George Athanasakes, Fuller, Mossbarger, Scott & May Engineers, Inc )
This 1-day workshop will focus on procedures for processing geomorphic data and performing Natural Channel Design using the RIVERMorph Software.

Workshop 5: How to Design Natural Channels Using Principles of Geomorphology (1 day, 8:00-5:00 pm, Ballroom III; George Athanasakes and Alan Schlindwein, Fuller, Mossbarger, Scott & May Engineers, Inc )
A very popular method for designing natural stream channels consists of measuring geomorphic parameters from a reference reach and then applying the reference reach parameters to the design reach through the use of dimensionless ratios. This course will provide an overview of stream restoration and will focus on the procedures necessary to design a stream using Natural Channel Design techniques. Participants will:
- Learn the basic design process for developing a natural channel design using a geomorphic approach.
- Develop an understanding of how to identify streams with high restoration potential that will be cost effective to restore.
- Learn how to manage a stream restoration design and what deliverables are necessary to ensure that proper design techniques were followed.
