Development of the guideline for this subject was begun in October of 2001. SHRG includes information from the Channel Design and Ecological Issues in Floodplain and Riparian Corridors state-of-the-knowledge white papers, completed May 2001. It is a guide for planning, design, and ecological considerations for process based natural stream habitat restoration. It includes methods for restoring the natural supply of sediment, water, and woody debris to the stream; water quality; habitat connectivity; and habitat diversity. Issues to be addressed in the guideline include channel configuration, riparian function, hyperheic function, and floodplain connectivity. Channel design parameters are addressed, including specific habitats (spawning, rearing, holding, riparian, etc.), habitat forming structures, and off-channel habitats. Works in Progress - These "works in progress" have been developed to show the progress being made with the Aquatic Habitat Guidelines program. Drafts of guidelines currently under development, as well as information pertaining to their development, are presented here. The “works in progress” documents posted on this site illustrate the thoughts of those individuals contributing to the program. The information provided is continually changing and being updated. The “works in progress” documents do not necessarily reflect current guidelines or the policies of state agencies. By entering the links below, you agree to use these documents as discussion drafts only.
