Overview Map      Reach   


Neutral


Welcome! Use the drop down menu in the right hand panel to select a reach video to view. The map will automatically reposition to the reach video location. As you watch the video you can follow the path on the map. Be sure to rate what you see using either the 5 increment slide bar for Scenic Quality or the 3 increment slide bar for Ecological Functionality. Hit the "Evaluate" button to evaluate either the shoreline protection, erosion, or vegetative of a specific video location.

Evaluation of Shoreline Protection

1. Protection Type

2. Probable Reason for Construction

3. Effectiveness of the Shore Protection

4. Performance of the Shore Protection, Including Effects on Adjacent Property

5. Present Condition of the Shore Protection in Place (check all that apply)

6. Evidence of Stability Problems (check all that apply)

Evaluation of Shoreline Erosion

1. Condition of Shoreline

2. Amount of Vegetative Cover of Shoreline

3. Water Depth at Shoreline

4. Length of Eroded Shoreline

5. Height of Eroded Shoreline

6. Slope of Eroded Shoreline

7. Soil Texture of Shoreline

Evaluation of Shoreline Vegetation

1. There is diverse age-class distribution of riparian-wetland vegetation (recruitment for maintenance/recovery)

2. There is diverse composition of riparian-wetland vegetation (for maintenance/recovery)

3. Species present indicate maintenance of riparian-wetland soil moisture characteristics

4. Vegetation is comprised of those plants or plant communities that have root masses capable of withstanding wind events, or wave flow events

5. Riparian-wetland plants exhibit high vigor

6. Adequate riparian-wetland vegetative cover is present to protect shoreline/soil surface and dissipate energy during high wind and wave events or overland flows

7. Favorable microsite condition (i.e., woody material, water temperature, etc.) is maintained by adjacent site characteristics

8. Islands and shoreline characteristics (i.e., rocks, coarse and/or large woody material) are adequate to dissipate wind and wave event energies
