DESIGNING AND ASSESSING STREAMS TO ULTIMATELY ENSURE BIOLOGICAL SUCCESS
Successful stream creation or restoration consists of properly defining desired system attributes, classifying the system type, and establishing restoration goals. One must first establish expectations via historical data or reference sites and identify physical, chemical, and/or biological stressors affecting the stream. Next, one must mitigate the stressors and re-establish key ecosystem attributes to provide for a functioning ecosystem. Finally, one must show that the efforts were successful by conducting effective habitat and biological assessments. This presentation provides overviews of the Stream Continuum Concept, stream community types and attributes, restoration building blocks, Kiefer’s stream morphology, water quality stressor identification methods, aquatic habitat assessment methods, and post-project biological monitoring using Stream Condition Index and BioRecon methods. Recommendations are provided, such as conducting annual biological monitoring until success criteria area achieved, as well as examples involving Florida stream creation associated with mining activities.
