Hello all,
I have heard quite a bit about stream bank stabilization techniques but nothing about stream channel stabilization. Is formal stream channel stabilization even feasible with the current USACE general permits (I don't think so) as I think any armoring technique threatens to change the stream's profiles. Perhaps some kind of thin matting across the channel might work like we do on man made ditches, but it seems unlikely that it would be permitted?
Thank you
