Impacts of Sediment Removalto 100-Year Peak Flow • Removing Sediment can decrease downstream peaks • HMP can increase downstream peak TIMING!
Bridge Scour • HEC-18 Offers Limited Equations • Contraction, Abutment, Pier, etc. • Does not account for flow Re-Entering the Channel • Which Ultimate Condition do you Plan for?
Scour Protection Alternatives • Locate Bridge in ‘stable’ site • Commit to Establishing Post Project Vegetation • Increase Scour Protection (cost implications) • Avoid Piers • Adopt an Adaptive Approach
