The coo~dinato~ could ~o~k ~ith lando~ne~s to solve p~oblems along a st~eam ~each, By wo~kingn the total ~each, the p~oblem solutions could be coo~dinated fo~ maximum efficiency. Development of ~ipa~ian zones ~hich include a~eas o~ned by seve~al people could also be add~essed by the coo~dinato~. This type of "st~eambank e~osion coo~d,nato~" should be assigned to a state agency such as the CSSCS, to p~ovide assistance state wide, and act as a mode~ato~ in the a~gument between development and envi~onmental p~ese~vation, 3, When individual st~eambank e~"sion cont~ol p~ojects a~e unde~taken, a tho~ough study of the total st~eam ~each is needed to p~edict the effects of the p~oject action upst~eam and do~nst~eam f~om the sit. of const~uction. If ',IO~k is to be ca~~ied on in the ~ive~bed the damage to the rive~s a~mo~ needs to be conside~ed as to ~hat wi I I take place upst~eam and do~nst~eam, A Section 404 pe~mit to ~o~k in the ~ive~ needs to be obtained f~om the Co~ps of Enginee~s to assu~e all pe~sons involved have had an opportunity to respond. In a~eas ~he~e blanket pe~mits have been g~anted a ~evie~ system may need to be establ ished to p~event unneeded damage to the ~ive~ system, 4, It i. not cost effective to use ~ock ~ip~ap O~ ~ock jetties to pn;,tect ag~icultu~al land. These types of bank p~otection may be cost effective ~he~e st~uctu~es such as ~oads, homes, b,'.idges, i~rigation dive~sions, or other high value improvements a~e threatened. Ancho~ed trees and jacks a~e in general the most cost effectivE! structural control measures and may be viable only in some specific locations. 5, Vegetated buffer st~ips, vegetative sprig revetment (bank sloping and revegetation), and riparian zones ~ere considered viable alte~natives in this study, High velocity flo~. on the river may ~equire structu~al p~actices such as Jacks in conjunction ~ith a vegetative p~actice. 6. Angl"d rock structu~es (placing of la~ge rocks ~ith approximately 1 to 1.5 feet of drop in the rive~) as int~oduced by Dr. Donald R. Reichmuth, PE/LS GEDMAX, PC, In his shor~ cou~se "Living With Fluvial Systems a Short Cou~se on River Mechanics,," ~ere not considered in the analysis because of the lack of specific cost data, effectiveness, and design, These type structures are possible for the lando~ners to install at thei,'. o~n initiative ~ith the use of technical assistance from consultants, They have a h,gh maintenance and may not be as .ffective du~ing high flows, 28
