1 Riverbank Stabilization Inventory FINAL Prepared by: Shallan Dawson, Rebecca Stevens Bob Flagor, & Michael Schlepp Kootenai-Shoshone Soil and Water Conservation District 7830 Meadowlark Way, Ste. C-1 Coeur d'alene ID June 2004

2 The Kootenai-Shoshone Soil and Water Conservation District was contracted to compile an Inventory Report of all riverbank stabilization projects that have been installed on the lower St. Joe River and the Lower Coeur D Alene River. The first part of the inventory involved researching projects that have been installed. The second part of the inventory was to survey the projects that are currently visible from the river. This would have included the GPS point of the project, and a visual inventory, documenting the existing material and a photograph. The third part of this inventory was to include a qualitative analysis performed by the State of Idaho, The Coeur d'alene Tribe and a representative of the Federal Government. The survey, GPS, photographs, and Qualitative Analysis for the Coeur D Alene River was completed in March 2004 for this report. The survey, GPS, photographs, and Qualitative Analysis for the St. Joe River were not completed due to river level elevations submerging portions of the stream bank protection projects. The following report is the first part of the inventory for the St. Joe River, which includes a compilation of all projects that were permitted by the Idaho Department of Lands, the US Army Corps. Of Engineers and the Coeur d'alene Tribe. Other information on projects was obtained from MFG, and Idaho Department of Environmental Quality. For ease of reading this report is sectioned into two parts, the Lower St. Joe and the Lower Coeur d'alene Rivers. For the St. Joe River, any designs that are similar were briefly described, and permit numbers are listed with a representative drawing on the following page. If the design was unique the permit number is listed in the description and the design drawing follows. For the Coeur D Alene River, projects that were permitted are listed by the project name, date installed, cost of project (if available), GPS coordinates, picture, and which design was used. Any other information is attached in the following pages (i.e. monitoring information or additional photos). All information provided in this report has been obtained from public records, or with permission from the landowner or entity that paid for the work. Also included were those un-permitted sites that were identified during the QAT site evaluation tour on March 18,

3 Lower St. Joe River from St. Joe city to Coeur D Alene Lake A majority of the projects on the St. Joe River consist of rock placed in the high water zone. Of 31miles of river, or 327,360 feet, a total of 39,864.5 feet have been stabilized, or 12% of the total riverbanks. The bullets below provide a brief description of the projects that were implemented on large amounts of riverbanks, or had a unique design. Angular rock, placed on top of filter fabric was toed in at elevation The rock was placed continuously up the bank, above the high water mark. This method was installed on feet of riverbank. This design, installed on 1852 feet, uses angular rock above and below the high water mark. A filter fabric was installed under the rock. There was no vegetative component to this design. Gabion baskets were placed at high water mark for 410 feet of riverbank. Angular rock 6-8 was placed on the eroding bank, on top of filter fabric anchored to the top of the bank deep. Small rock, one foot in diameter and smaller, placed in the high water zone, on top of a filter fabric was placed on 550 feet of riverbank. Angular rock was placed on 1805 feet of riverbank. There was no filter fabric, or vegetative component. Angular rock placed in the high water zone is covered by filter fabric, and placed in the toe trench, covered by angular rock and pea gravel. This is topped by sand above the high water mark. This is installed on 690 feet of riverbank. Angular rock 1-4 was placed on the riverbank 24 deep, and toed in on top of filter fabric. This was installed on 6,900 feet of riverbank. Of that, 6,500 were placed continuously. On 350 feet or riverbank rock was placed on top of filter fabric in the high water zone. Under the toe trench, a footing was installed. Filter fabric was placed on the riverbank, from the low water mark to above the high water mark. Angular rock was placed on the filter fabric, and pea gravel covered the angular rock. This was installed on 218 feet of riverbank. 3

4 Cinder blocks were placed for 50 feet of riverbank, at high water mark. They were placed with the holes up, and willow chutes were planted in the holes. Angular rock was placed from the bottom of the river, to several feet above the high water mark to protect the dike. This was placed on 12,200 feet of continuous riverbank. Angular rock 8 or smaller was placed in a wedge in the wave action zone, or high water mark. Willows were planted into the bank, behind the rock, and cottonwoods were placed 10 back from the riverbank. This was installed on 8,600 feet of riverbank. Drainage: Lower St. Joe River Design: This method places angular rock above and below the high water mark (elevation 2128 ). A filter cloth is placed under the rock, and the slope of the bank is usually kept at 1.5:1. The rock is angular and the designs do not specify the size of rock used. There is no vegetation used in this design. This method uses installation from land.

20 Drainage: Lower St. Joe Design: Permit # L-95-S-3758 used 1-4 rock, 24 deep to armor the riverbank. The rock was placed on top of filter fabric, and set at a 2:1 slope. The rock was toed in 2-3 deep and a drainpipe was installed to carry runoff from the bank directly into the river. This was installed by DAW Forest Products Co., and includes a paved log deck on top of the riverbank. This design was implemented along 400 feet of riverbank. Permit # L-95-S-3879 used a similar design on 6,500 feet of riverbank. The difference between the two designs was the drainpipe installed at the log deck, was not installed on this portion. 20

22 Drainage: Lower St. Joe Design: Permit # L-95-S-3962B used rock placed on the riverbank starting at the low water mark, and continuing up the bank to the top of the Dike to elevation This design was implemented on 100 feet of riverbank. 22

23 Drainage: Lowe St. Joe Design: Permit # L-95-S-3461 used the existing toe trench to install a footing in the bottom, and placed filter fabric starting at the low water mark continuing up the riverbank. Rock armoring would then be placed on top of the filter fabric. This extended for 350 linear feet on the riverbank. 23

24 Drainage: Lower St. Joe Design: This method used filter fabric placed from below the low water mark up the riverbank above the high water mark. Large rock was placed on top of the fabric; gravel was placed on top of the larger rock. Permit # Legnth in feet L-95-S L-95-S Total

25 Drainage: Lower St. Joe Design: Permit # L-95-S-4458 used 8 x8 x16 cinderblocks, with holes in the middle, placed on the sill of the eroding riverbank at the high water mark elevation They were placed in one layer with the holes facing upward. Willows were planted in the holes of the blocks. This was implemented along 50 feet of riverbank. 25

26 Drainage: Lower St. Joe Design: Permit # L-95-S-4337 placed rock from the bottom of the river to several feet above the high water mark. This was installed on 12,200 feet of riverbank. 26

27 Drainage: Lower St. Joe Design: Permit # L-95-S-3966 used rock 1 and smaller placed in a trench 2 deep, filled up extending above high water mark, and extending 3 into the river. This design was implemented along 345 feet of riverbank. 27

28 Drainage: Lower St. Joe Design: The United States Department of Agriculture, Natural Resources Conservation Service designed and implemented this method, using partial funding from their Environmental Quality Incentives Program. This design involved armoring the riverbank with rock 8 or smaller, well graded placed in a wedge. Before the rock was placed, willow 28

29 bundles were placed in the water zone every 20 feet. Various types of trees and shrubs were placed every 20 feet on the riverbank. An electric fence was installed to keep grazing animals from destroying the newly planted shrubs. This was installed on 8,600 feet of riverbank. 29

31 Lower Coeur d'alene River: Harrison to Cataldo Of the 33 miles of river, or 348,480 feet, 9,552 feet of the riverbank was stabilized, or 2.8%. The following bullets are a brief description of these projects. The following pages will describe the project in detail, and provide a cost, if available. Cataldo Boat Ramp Improvement design installed log revetments for 110 feet of riverbank, and willow waddles on 70 feet of riverbank, both in the wave action zone. This method was installed in The University of Idaho installed bio logs in the wave action zone, near Cataldo Boat Launch. The bank was sloped back, and covered with metal attenuating growth media, and covered with erosion control netting. Scour protection, at various locations on or near the Union Pacific Railroad Right-of-Way, large rock was placed in the wave action zone; this was installed on 1210 feet of the river. Vegetative Geo-grids were installed just downstream of the Highway 3 bridge. These bundles of coconut fiber were stacked with alders planted between them for 132 feet. This design used geotextile placed on the undercut bank, to the bottom of the river. Rock 12 and smaller, depending on the slope of the riverbank, was placed on the geotextile from a barge. The rock was built up above the high water mark several feet from the bank to protect the shoreline from the effects of boat wakes and to provide permanent bank stabilization without adversely affecting the river flow or fish habitat. The south bank berm was constructed using 4-10 size riprap over a geotextile fabric. The north berm was constructed using 4-12 size riprap overlying a gravel and sand filter. The top of the berm is 2 wide, and these two methods were implemented on 750 of both sides of the river for a total of 1,500 of riverbank. The Kootenai-Shoshone Soil and Water Conservation District installed a demonstration project on 6,000 feet of riverbank, 3,000 each side of the river. This method placed rock in the wave action zone, and included willow plantings and cotton wood plantings. There was an additional 200 feet of rock installed that was cobble, not angular rock. At the Medimont Boat Ramp the feasibility of using rock and hay bales to stabilize the bank was tested. Rock was installed on 330 feet of riverbank. Small bales (100 feet of riverbank) were installed by staking with wooden poles in the wave action zone and large bales (100 feet of riverbank) were installed in a trench in the wave action zone. 31

32 The Qualitative Analysis Team (QAT) consisted of: Gregg Rayner (Regulatory Project Manager)- United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), David Lamb (Wetland Habitat Biologist)- Coeur d Alene Tribe, and David D. Lepard- Department of Water Resources Northern Region. The group was also assisted by: United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), 2 staff from the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), Idaho Department of Lands (IDL), and 2 staff/ 1 supervisor from the Kootenai Shoshone Soil and Water Conservation District (KSSWCD). The group evaluated all stabilization projects on the Coeur D Alene River from Cataldo Boat Ramp to Harrison Dock Builders on March 18, 2004 with the assistance from U.S. Fish and Wildlife service and the utilization of their boat. The following information documents the permitted projects traveling downstream including; photos, GPS coordinates, KSSWCD observations, and QAT analysis. Interspersed are also projects that were not permitted which were evaluated by the QAT and KSSWCD staff. IDL staff using a digital/gps unit camera took some of the photos. Note: some IDL photos have slightly different GPS coordinates; KSSWCD coordinates were taken from the middle of the river adjacent to project sites. The following is a key for interpretation of the information recorded by the QAT: -Bank= Right or Left side of the river facing downstream -Type= Type of stabilization observed -Length= Length of stabilization observed (ft.) -Height= Height of stabilization observed from ordinary high water (OHW) (ft.) -Canopy/shrub= observed vegetation at project site -Manicured/agricultural/other= observed land use adjacent to project site -To top? = Stabilized to top of bank yes or no -Wave Zone= stabilized at wave zone only -Toe only= stabilized at toe only If cells are blank, QAT members did not analyze project/entity for unknown reason. It is important that the reader understands that the information recorded by the QAT members was on their own and from what they saw and how they as individuals perceived the project. The QAT members requested that they not identify which agency they were representing when filling out the evaluation forms. The following 2 pages are blank templates of the forms that the QAT members and KSSWCD staff filled out. 32

The river makes several turns throughout the project. An additional 200 was installed on the end of the project, and used round rock, or cobble rock. There is an abundant source of this rock in the Coeur d'alene Drainage, and is a cost effective alternative to angular rock. This design had an extensive vegetative plan, which included willow plantings every 10 feet, behind the rock armor, and cottonwood post plantings every 10 feet, set 10 back from the bank. The rock armor design is a wedge design; no existing vegetation, rock or other material was removed to install this project. The Schlepps planted a riparian seed mix and applied fertilizer to the Schlepp Ranch side of the project. Part of this project was installed from a barge on the river, directed by a tugboat; other parts that were accessible by land were installed with a track hoe. TerraGraphics did a wedge removal of 300 before placing rock on the riverbank. The cost for this construction was not paid through the Conservation District, and the additional cost is not known. The wedge removal was done from a barge, as was the rock placement in that area. 87

The project was sponsored by the Coeur d'alene Restoration, and Save Our River Environment. The United State Environmental Protection Agency, Resource Recovery and Restoration Act funded it. The project was installed on the outside bend of the river, and the total project extended for 330. This design involved removing any existing vegetation, and armoring the riverbank with small rock. Bales of hay, two different sizes were set in a trench. There were two types of rock installation, and two types of hay bale installation. One part of the rock was keyed in, or had a toe trench; the other was placed on the bank. The large round bales of hay were placed in a trench, as were the smaller bales, but the smaller bales were held in place with stakes. (Medimont hay bales) 103

104 (Medimont rock treatment) KSSWCD staff observed 2 different treatments using 1 gravel-cobble overlying filter fabric and the other utilizing hay bales (viewed remnants) after the bank had been shaped. The small bales were no longer evident and the round bales were rotting. GPS coordinates and photo were taken.

132 In Summary: There were a total of 24 riverbank stabilization projects that were inventoried on the Lower Coeur D Alene River. The later part of this report is intended to provide information regarding permitted (a total of approximately 9,552 ) and non-permitted stabilization projects (a total of approximately 850 ) that have been installed on the Lower Coeur D Alene River. It was the intention to provide the Technical Leadership Group, of the Basin Environmental Improvement Project Commission, with State, Federal, and Tribal feedback on each project. The QAT data is for you the reader to extrapolate from and see just how different individuals perceive each project. As I was working with the data, I noticed that not all of the agencies agreed on the treatments/lengths of bank stabilized/ what side of the river was stabilized/ and whether they felt that the project had failed or not. Acknowledgements: The Kootenai-Shoshone Soil and Water Conservation District would like to foremost acknowledge the Coeur d Alene Basin Environmental Improvement Project Commission for their support in the process of putting together this report. The District would also like to thank the Core staff of the Commission for their assistance in the peer review period for finalizing the draft. Further acknowledgements are as follows: U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, The Coeur d Alene Tribe, Idaho Department of Water Resources, Idaho Department of Lands, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Idaho Department of Environmental Quality, and the USDA- Natural Resources Conservation Service. Although not requested, KSSWCD asked that the Core Staff to the Basin Environmental Improvement Project Commission conduct a Peer Review of this report before the District distributes a final version (handed out in CD format on June 17, 2004) References: -Riverbank Stabilization Inventory Draft.
