Stream Restoration Using Natural Stream Design in Harrisonburg Ed Watson Hydrologist

Blacks Run Project Area Ag land until 1950s-60s Donated to City for a Park (“Purcell Park”) Aging/failing infrastructure—CSOs TMDL for sediment and fecal coliform Asphalt/rooftops—highly impervious, flashy Friends of Blacks Run Greenway—FBRG Well-intentioned, misguided “maintenance” “Unique” opportunity, or misallocation of resources?

Blacks Run Project Area Objectives Reduced maintenance Improved aquatic habitat Reduced sediment inputs Improved riparian habitat *Improved aesthetics(?)
