BOOK OF ABSTRACTS Tuesday, Monday, October 27 23 Concurrent Sessions I 10:00–11:30 Track D: Biologic Integrity of Streams, continued The Effectiveness of Various Stream Restoration Techniques on Restoring Biological Integrity Diane Spector, Wenck Associates, Inc., dspector@wenck.com; Ed Matthiesen, Wenck Associates, Inc. Stream restoration projects in Minnesota range from simple streambank stabilization to total stream reconstruction. Often the most important factor in design is stabilizing and/or armoring the streambanks and channel to reduce erosion and scour, with little thought given to improving habitat and biological integrity. These are not mutually exclusive goals. Stream stability can be improved while at the same time habitat is enhanced through judicious use of a variety of simple stream restoration techniques. We will present several before and after case studies of stream restoration projects that achieved different levels of stability and biologic improvements. Several projects on Shingle Creek, an urban stream; Pike Creek, a suburban stream; and Hardwood Creek, a rural/agricultural stream will be described and the before and after biologic improvement as measured by the macroinvertebrate Index of Biologic Integrity will be presented. Our long-term goal is to develop guidance for water resources professionals on the most appropriate and costeffective tools to achieve both stability and biologic integrity goals through stream restoration. 23 Minnesota Water Resources Conference, October 27–28, 2008
Luncheon Presentation 12:15–1:00 Green Infrastructure for Great Cities Janet Attarian, Streetscape & Urban Design Program, Chicago Department of Transportation BOOK OF ABSTRACTS Tuesday, Monday, October 27 23 Climate change and urban migration are forcing cities to be at the forefront of sustainable design. But what makes a city sustainable and what role does infrastructure play in a sustainable city By virtue of their density, cities tend to use resources efficiently, but can we improve on this model How will cities adapt From earliest times access to water has determined the location and size of cities, and Chicago is no exception. Learn what Chicago is doing in its alleys and streets to rethink the role of water, and much more, in the urban realm. Minnesota Water Resources Conference, October 27–28, 20078 24
