Custodian: NRCS
Goal: This team will revise a grouping of four NRCS Conservation Practice Standards (CPS) related to stream protection and restoration projects: CPS 395 Stream Habitat Improvement and Management, CPS 580 Streambank and Shoreline Protection, CPS 582 Open Channel, and CPS 584 Channel Bed Stabilization. Specific objectives to revise these NRCS state technical standards include the following:
The standard revisions will identify procedures for stream assessments and establish the hydraulic criteria for proportioning a stable stream channel, floodplain, and planform system. Revisions will be based on proven scientific methods that will improve waters of the state, protect private interests, and conform to applicable state laws and regulations.
