NC State University Stream Restoration Program

This 3-day workshop provides intensive instruction in stream restoration design using hydraulic and sediment transport modeling. Students work in small groups on design projects using available topographic information and computer software to test design methodologies. Students are encouraged to bring laptops for spreadsheet and modeling applications. This workshop requires completion of RC 101 and RC 201 or equivalent background in stream morphology assessment and natural channel design.

Instructors: Greg Jennings, Phd, PE, Kris Bass, PE, Barbara Doll, PE, Jason Zink,PE, Zan Price, PE

Registration Fee: $675
Class limited to: 32 participants
Prerequisites: RC 101 and 201
Professional Development Hours (PDH) approved: 6 per day

This 2-day workshop builds upon the principles covered in RC 301 (Stream Restoration Design - Hydraulic Modeling). Principles of hydraulic modeling and sediment transport will be reviewed and students will be introduced to a two dimensional hydraulic model. Students will work through training exercises in small groups. At the completion of the course, students should be able to take raw data collected from a three dimensional total station stream survey, build a two dimensional hydraulic model from that data, run the model, and interpret the results. Students should bring laptops spreadsheet applications and the necessary permissions to install modeling software. This workshop requires completion of RC 301 or equivalent background.
