Please watch the video at this link if you are concerned or involved with floodplain/stream channel restoration in the Mid-Atlantic Piedmont. There has been a lot of research and a lot of new findings since this video was created. Bottom line: the way we restore streams in the Mid-Atlantic Piedmont and other geological regions does not return the stream to a naturally functioning system (key word naturally). The fundamental principles of regional floodplain restoration are currently being re-written. Please watch this video and share it with all TU members and restoration groups that you know. FYI the video is referring to Piedmont streams; however, the Legacy sediment problem is also present in the Ridge & Valley and the Plateaus. One great example of Legacy sediment is the famed Penn's Creek. I hope you enjoy.
