Stream Simulation Design Workshop for Stream-Road Crossings

This is a 4.5 day training workshop targeted at civil engineers, geotechnical engineers, hydrologists, geomorphologists, ecologists, biologists, and geologists. Instructors present the Forest Service’s stream simulation method, an ecosystem-based approach for designing and constructing a channel through the road-stream crossing structure that reestablishes physical and ecological continuity along the stream corridor.

Workshop Sponsors: U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, U.S. Forest Service, Project SHARE, Maine Department of Environmental Protection, National Fish and Wildlife Foundation Target Audience: Forestry managers, municipal public works staff, civil engineers, geotechnical engineers, hydrologists, geomorphologists, ecologists, biologists, and geologists. CEU credits will be available.

Objectives & Description:

Participants learn the necessary skills to ...

  • demonstrate the stream simulation methodology of collecting and interpreting channel and roadway data at road-stream crossing sites;
  • applying and integrating these data to develop design channels and road-stream crossing structures;
  • effectively constructing stream simulation designs.

Focus is on the USDA Forest Service stream simulation method, an ecosystem-based approach for designing and constructing road-stream crossings that provide unimpeded fish and other aquatic organism passage through the structure. Stream simulation integrates fluvial geomorphology concepts and methods with engineering principles to design a road-stream crossing that contains a natural and dynamic channel through the structure, restoring ecological processes and connectivity along the stream corridor.

Target Audience:
Engineers, hydrologists, biologists, geologists, etc. that are actively involved in the design of road-stream crossing structures.
