Applying a Fluvial Geomorphic Classification System to Watershed Restoration

Title
Applying a Fluvial Geomorphic Classification System to Watershed Restoration
Abstract
Numerous articles discuss the merits and shortcomings of the Geormorphic Stream Classification System developed by Dave Rosgen (1985). This article discusses the Feather River Coordinated Resource Management (FR-Coordinated Resource Management) group's experience using this system in the FR-Coordinated Resource Management watershed restoration program.
Purpose
One of the FR-Coordinated Resource Management geomorphic restoration projects was used to illustrate use of the Geomorphic Stream Classification System for evaluating current conditions and restoration alternatives. The Big Flat/Cottonwood Creek Project, located on lands administered by the Plumas National Forest (PNF) in the northern Sierra Nevada mountains of California, was identified as a high priority stream and meadow restoration project through the scheduled Allotment Management Plan Update.
