Designing for Aquatic Organism Passage at Road-Stream Crossings (AOP)

	Hosted in coordination with USFS Stream System Technology Center and USFS Regions
Tributary to Middle Fork Salmon River, Olympic National Forest, Washington

Objectives & Description:

Participants learn the necessary skills to ...

• demonstrate the stream simulation methodology of collecting and interpreting channel and roadway data at road-stream crossing sites;
• applying and integrating these data to develop design channels and road-stream crossing structures;
• effectively constructing stream simulation designs.

Focus is on the USDA Forest Service stream simulation method, an ecosystem-based approach for designing and constructing road-stream crossings that provide unimpeded fish and other aquatic organism passage through the structure. Stream simulation integrates fluvial geomorphology concepts and methods with engineering principles to design a road-stream crossing that contains a natural and dynamic channel through the structure, restoring ecological processes and connectivity along the stream corridor.

Target Audience:
Engineers, hydrologists, biologists, geologists, etc. that are actively involved in the design of road-stream crossing structures.


Tuition: $1,200 (does NOT include travel, lodging and meals).
Tuition may be reduced pending additional funding sources.

Includes:

• Instruction
• Materials

Dropping from the Workshop: Tuition is low for this workshop consequently there is not much leeway on letting people drop. If you are registered, check with us first, just in case we have a waiting list. If there is not a waiting list, you will need to find a substitute or pay fixed costs. The budget has been set and spent based on current confirmation. Thank you for your understanding and consideration.
