Webinar Overview
|
Participate to gain insight on Natural Channel Design based on more than 40 years combined experience from two retired USDA NRCS employees--a NC District Conservationist and WV State Conservation Engineer. Natural stream restoration, or Natural Channel Design (NCD), is an approach to manipulating stream corridors based on a well-known channel classification system. The widespread use of NCD methods, with a full range of successes and failures, has seen a bit of controversy in past years with numerous publications and vocal proponents and opponents. This webinar will draw on the combined experience of two retired USDA NRCS employees and present the views and experiences of both the ecological and engineering sides of the NCD equation. Our presenters will reflect on a large number of completed projects to discuss the myriad details that have a great effect on the success or failure of a NCD project, including design and permitting issues, construction details and choreography, materials, ecological and environmental benefits, social factors, and other "things that can happen" in the creation and implementation of a project.
