Approximately 1/3 of the roof is covered in vegetation. The benefits of a “living roof” include:
• Reduces the amount of stormwater runoff• Absorbs air pollution and carbon dioxide• Reduces the energy needed to cool the building in summer
Vegetated Roof- Delosperma and Allium plants in bloom

Stream Monitoring Program
Study Objectives
1. Generate long-term monitoring data.
2. Evaluate relations between observed conditions/trends and BMP implementation.
3. Transfer the understanding gained to other less-intensively monitored watersheds.

Dead Run Segment 1 Stream Restoration Project
Next steps with target dates
• Receive concept design comments from residents
• Inform residents of locations where project abuts their property and where work will take place within existing easements on their property
• Develop 95% design plans by September, 2015
• Final design phase public meeting, late September, 2015
• Final plan authorization and bidding phase – TBD based on funding and approved budget
• Target is early, 2016
• Pardon Our Dust meeting with residents and contractor before issuing construction notice to proceed.

Agenda
1 Basis for Design
2 Trees
3 Design Plan
4 Critical Erosion Areas
5 Pedestrian Bridge Replacement
![Page 21: Dead Run Segment One Stream Restoration Project](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062420/55cd4f3fbb61ebfa4b8b45e6/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
1 Basis for Design
• Stable Channel• Understanding of
Floodplain• Address Erosion
![Page 22: Dead Run Segment One Stream Restoration Project](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062420/55cd4f3fbb61ebfa4b8b45e6/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
1 Basis for Design • Natural Channel Design (NCD) Approach – Reference Reach, Analytical,
Regional Relationships and hydraulic analysis
• Stream Pattern, Profile and Section
• Range of Values for Stable Stream Pattern
• Tree Loss is Unavoidable but Provides Opportunity to Improve Riparian Diversity
![Page 23: Dead Run Segment One Stream Restoration Project](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062420/55cd4f3fbb61ebfa4b8b45e6/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
1 Basis for Design • Establish Goals:
• 1. Improve Flow Conditions in the Channel through Adjustments to Plan/Profile/Section
• 2. Create a Stable Channel by Reducing Bed/Bank Erosion that has Benefit of Reducing Contributions of Nitrogen and Phosphorus (i.e. Water Quality Improvement)
• 3. Improve Channel Geomorphology and Opportunities for Species Diversity (i.e. Use Structures to Stabilize Channel and Create Pool Habitats)
• 4. No-Rise / No-Impact of the Floodplain

2 Trees
12” and Larger Trees:• ~190 trees 12” and larger assessed within the project area• ~19 trees 12” and larger are “at risk”
• ~11 of the “at risk” trees may be removed
• Low Diversity of Species: ~45% tuliptree, ~24% red maple• ~39 Trees proposed to be removed
• A few additional trees maybe removed for new storm pipe to address drainage issues.
