The ISA would retain Ihe channel in its original condition and reflects an F- Type "entrenched" channel for the majority of its length. Sinuosity would remain low and no pooVriffle sequences would be developed. Habitat values would be limited in the existing channel. An analysis of hydraulic geometry relationships and width/depth ratios suggests that the existing channel is out of equilibrium with the post-project hydrologic regime. The entrenchment ratio suggests that it is out of equilibrium with its floodplain as well. Riprap protection and the excessive freeboard associated with the dikes would continue to maintain the channel within the project limits. The ECMA would be constructed as a typical B- Type channel and would be a moderately entrenched rapid-pool or step-pool type channel. The hydraulic capacity and width/depth ratio of the main channel suggest that the river would be in contact with its floodplain on a relatively frequent basis (1.5-year event frequency). The actual acreage of the floodplain and associated habitat values would be limited in all reaches except Reach 4. This condition is defined in the entrenchment ratio column of Table 2. An analysis of the hydraulic geometry indicates that the ECMA channel would be in static-equilibrium. The pool morphology would be highly dependent on a future condition of limited sediment production. Channel slopes would be relatively steep. reflecting the step/pool type morphology. Pool to pool spacing and pool plus run lengths suggest good habitat values would be reflective of this type of channel. The RHRA would be be constructed as a typical C- Type channel and would be a slightly entrenched meandering stream. Channel sinuosity reflects the historical conditions and would be concordant with the post-project hydrologic and sediment transport regime, channel and valley slopes. Meander pattern, meander belt width and radius of curvature would be in equilibrium with the hydraulic conditions dictated by the post-project reservoir release schedule. Widtbfdepth ratios and hydraulic geometry present a close fit to values documented by previous investigators on natural streams (Leopold and Maddock 1953). This "close fit" suggests that the cross sectional geometry would be in equilibrium with the hydrology, channel hydraulics and sediment transport regime of the post- project Provo River. Pool to pool spacings correlate well with predicted values for this characteristic stream. Pool plus run ratios should provide excellent habitat values and are reflective of undisturbed stable streams of this type. Pool morphology, channel and meander patterns characterize a dynamically metastable river system. Hydraulic and sediment transport design criteria, localized natural bank armor and the reduction of bed and bank shear stresses through manipulation of bed slope and bed material would provide assurances of erosional stability within the RHRA project limits. MUL Tl.OBJECTlVE PLANNING Multi-objective planning for the PRRP project was comprised of two key elements: integrating a wide variety of technical disciplines in the planning and design process, and including all stakeholders and interested agencies in the planning and decision-making process. As stated earlier. the overall objective of the restoration project was to develop a self-sustaining. geomorphically stable riverine system which would have all the values of natural river systems. Specific objectives included developing an outstanding naturally reproducing trout fishery; developing a recreation corridor along the river; enhancing wetlands and other riparian resources; accommodating existing agricultural and residential land uses in the river corridor; and preserving irrigation diversions. In addition, the design had to take into account habitats of treatened and endangered species including the Ute ladies tresses orchid and the western spotted frog. As a result, the project team had to include experts in civil engineering. hydrology. geomorphology, river mechanics. fisheries biology, wetland biology. endangered species, recreation planning, water rights, and environmental regulations. The ability of team members to address their own specialty while still understanding the relationships between the various technical aspects of the project was critical to successful development of a project concept and feasibility- level design. A greater challenge than managing a diverse project team was managing the various stakeholders and interested parties. Coordination was crucial with the following agencies, organizations and groups: 4
