Environmental and Water Quality Operational Studies. Environmental Features for Streamside Levee Projects.
Abstract
This study provides designers of levee projects with guidance for incorporating environmental enhancement features into project design and maintenance. Forty-six environmental features were identified by information review as having potential to improve fish and wildlife habitat, recreational use, and esthetic qualities of lands and water associated with levee projects. Features include general items for design and maintenance, as well as specific measures for fish and wildlife habitat, recreation, and aesthetic development. Each feature is discussed from a variety of perspectives: a) its purpose is stated in order to give the reader a rapid means of determining environmental values that the feature would improve, protect, and enhance; b) directions are provided for its implementation; c) a summary of its past performance is given; d) limitations, both general and site specific, are provided; and e) information on the costs of its construction, materials, operations, and maintenance is discussed.
