| Description | Erosion and sediment deposition are natural processes keeping streams and rivers in the Chehalis River basin healthy. However, vegetation removal, building activities, and excessive irrigation can worsen problems associated with streambank erosion. Some approaches, like stabilizing the shoreline with large rocks and boulders, can be expensive and create erosion problems at other locations and properties downstream. However, soft or “bioengineered” solutions using natural materials like soil, wood, and native vegetation can be cheaper and easier to maintain. They also can help build habitat for salmon and other aquatic species. Ecology’s Office of Chehalis Basin developed the Erosion Management Guidebook outlining bioengineered solutions to manage streambank erosion in the basin. This brochure gives a brief overview of the guidebook and is used as a handout for events, city & county governments. |
