Is there a river running through your roadway budget? Learn effective streambank stabilization techniques and funding resources that can be used to protect your roadways. Applying more than 30 combined years of environmental engineering experience, Brian Tornes, PE and Matthew Kestner, GIT will explain how to select the most effective stream bank restoration technique: natural channel design, traditional engineering or a combination of the two. This presentation also will illustrate how to maximize water quality and asset protection through stream bank stabilization using case studies that compare cost, form and function. Finally, Betsy Ehler will go over funding opportunities for these project types, who offers them and keys to a successful funding application.
