OSBORNE HOLLOW CREEK ROAD PROTECTION PROJECT
2
Gravel-Cobble Bed Stream – Rural, Pool-Riffle-Pool, Stream Slope 2-3% Goals: Halt bank erosion to protect NY State Highway 7, & Widen Road Shoulder Solution: Install Deeply-Keyed (weighted toe) Vegetated Riprap

Let’s think this thing through!!!! OSBORNE HOLLOW CR. – DEC 12, 2006

THE FIRST PLAN
5
Double Boil-UP Pools- Osborne Hollow Cr.- Near Binghamton, NY Planform View Flow Stable Riprap with veg-1 ton/ft Riprap with veg-3 tons/ft Stable Riprap with veg-3 tons/ft Riprap with veg-1 ton/ft Dig Boil-Up Pool, 35 ft in diameter, 4 ft deep Dig Boil-Up Pool, 30 ft in diameter, 4 ft deep Riprap with veg-2 tons/ft Riprap with veg-1 ton/ft

THE LANDOWNER BOO BOO

Looking US from within landowner cutoff channel. Note steep slope of bottom of dug trench. OSBORNE HOLLOW CR. – JUNE 24, 2007 - PIX BY DERRICK
11
Landowner cutoff channel is aimed at his house, which is 35 ft from top bank!! OSBORNE HOLLOW CR. – JUNE 24, 2007 - PIX BY DERRICK

Looking US. Headcuts migrating US thru the landowner cutoff channel. OSBORNE HOLLOW CR. – DEC 20, 2007 - PIX BY DERRICK
13
During our in-field meeting with the landowner, he felt his channel aimed at his house will work, so we decided to abandon our first plan (double- boil-up pool) & go with a pure road protection scheme. We will not touch the landowner’s work, in fact we photo-documented the site pre- & post project construction

THE SECOND PLAN VEGETATED KEYS & RIPRAP
15
Osborne Hollow Cr.- Near Binghamton, NY Planform View Flow Landowner channel Stable Severe erosion Some erosion Landowner levee Landowner dredged area State Highway 7 Vegetated keys & riprap

700 STREAMCO WILLOW PLANTS WERE HARVESTED BY NYS-DOT PERSONNEL FROM THE NRCS PLANT MATERIAL CENTER, BIG FLATS, NY. AVERAGE PLANT SIZE WAS 12-15 FT LONG & 1- 1.5 INCH BUTT DIAMETER
24
Gravel-Cobble Bed Stream–Install Soil- Choked Vegetated (Single-Row Bent Willow Pole) Weighted-Toe Full-Bank Height Riprap 12-16 ft long Streamco Willow placed @ a density of 5 stems/ft State Hwy 7

THE “SINGLE ROW” BENT WILLOW POLE METHOD Willow placed at a density of 5 stems/ft.
32
Gravel-Cobble Bed Stream–Install Soil- Choked Vegetated (Single-Row Bent Willow Pole) Weighted-Toe Full-Bank Height Riprap Log Using an available log held in the bucket of the trackhoe, willows are pulled streamward State Hwy 7
33
A long 2 by 4 was used to bend willows away from the bank. OSBORNE HOLLOW CR. – JUNE 26, 2007 - PIX BY DERRICK
34
Stone was then placed from above onto the upper section of the bank. OSBORNE HOLLOW CR. – JUNE 26, 2007 - PIX BY DERRICK
35
Gravel-Cobble Bed Stream–Install Soil- Choked Vegetated (Single-Row Bent Willow Pole) Weighted-Toe Full-Bank Height Riprap Using the front end loader, riprap is placed on mid & upper bank areas {landward of the willows} State Hwy 7
36
Placing stone on mid & upper sections of bank. OSBORNE HOLLOW CR. – JUNE 26, 2007 - PIX BY DERRICK
37
Gravel-Cobble Bed Stream–Install Soil- Choked Vegetated (Single-Row Bent Willow Pole) Weighted-Toe Full-Bank Height Riprap Bedload cobble- gravel is used to choke all riprap. This resulted in a 2 to 3 ft wider road shoulder. State Hwy 7
38
Stone is then “choked” with bed material from stream, then compacted. OSBORNE HOLLOW CR. – JUNE 26, 2007 - PIX BY DERRICK
