Erosion of streambanks presents an imminent threat to many recreational properties. Often this threat is realized via loss of large sections of property along outside bends of streams and rivers. In other instances, sediment resultant from erosion adversely affects a resident wild trout fishery by degrading spawning and invertebrate production habitat. PSC and its associates have designed, permitted and implemented streambank stabilization projects on numerous rivers across Montana, as well as in Wyoming, Oregon and New Mexico. These projects have been completed on streams and rivers ranging in size from five to fifteen hundred cubic feet per second using a variety of techniques. Often, the potential for impacts to a stream's fishery or property protection necessitates the use of heavy equipment, though particular streams may only require a change in management and revegetative efforts.
