<br />.'. . <br /> <br />.. 17 Z 6 . <br />.. <br /> <br />Application of the USFS. channel maintenance procedure to the Rock. <br />Creek project illustrates the difficulty of. addressing questions related to <br />sediment transport with a- generalized procedure. The need to. address a. <br />wide range of site specific conditions requires a flexible procedure that <br />is not subject to a handbook-type solution. Furthermore, the nature of <br />sediment transport calculations requires specialized training snd ej<peri- <br />ence to achieve realistic results. Even when a generalized procedure can <br />be outlined, application of. .that procedure must be done with complete <br />understanding of underlying assumptions and background conditions. <br /> <br />REFERENCES <br /> <br />1.
