City of Griffin Stream Bank Restoration Program

Abstract

Proceedings of the 2001 Georgia Water Resources Conference, April 26 and 27, 2001, Athens, Georgia.Urban growth and development has adversely affected the water quality, stability, and biotic integrity of the streams within the city of Griffin, Georgia. The implementation of corrective measures for addressing stormwater runoff is an integral part of the City's Stormwater Management Program. The program objective is to improve water quality and biological function of the watershed by incorporating structural and non-structural Best Management Practices (BMP's). Stream Bank Restoration is a structural BMP that requires physical restoration and enhancement of features within the watershed to complete the water quality improvement process.Sponsored and Organized by: U.S. Geological Survey, Georgia Department of Natural Resources, Natural Resources Conservation Service, The University of Georgia, Georgia State University, Georgia Institute of TechnologyThis book was published by the Institute of Ecology, The University of Georgia, Athens, Georgia 30602-2202.
