Objective: Recently there has been an increase in the number of inquiries regarding stream bank restoration along rivers, creeks, and tributaries. To address this workshop goal, there will be presentations discussing the causes of stream bank erosion, impacts caused by the erosion, and a guide to prevention. Additionally, there will be presentations on design and construction, as well as methods and materials used for restoration. MDEQ Staff will provide information regarding when a permit is required, and what information is necessary to obtain a permit.
If you have photos identifying areas of concern along your stream bank, please submit them in advance as they may be used for discussion in the workshop. Please contact Roger Moore, Storm Water Manager at 248 656-4640 for further information.
