PRE-PROJECT CONDITIONS AT MONKEY RUN
• Stream has been straightened in mid-1800’s (railroad), & 1959, & 1965 (NY State Highway Dept.)
• Stream is incised (disconnected from the flood plain)
• Active knickpoints (headcuts) throughout the system
• Stream is shallow and overwidened.
• We turned 2 bends and one crossing into 6 bends and 5 crossings. The grade control structures consist of a 3-log Log Digger, a 6-log Log Aerator-riffle, one Engineered Rock Riffle, two Solid-Sill Engineered Rock Riffles, and one Adjustable Random-Boulder Rocked Riffle

Bend #2 “BioD-Block” Coir Block System
• Proprietary method, introduced 2003
• An easier way to construct encapsulated earth-filled system of lifts
• Locked Logs and/or Locked Limbs can be integrated between underwater lifts
• Vegetation can be integrated between emergent lifts
• Living Retards/Living Dikes can be placed on top of the BioD-Blocks
