SUMMARY:Introduction to Urban Stream Restoration for Contractors
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE\n  \nWORKSHOP DESCRIPTION: This workshop is intended to introduce contractors and young designers to a practical view of stream restoration construction.  The course has an optional third day of a construction demo sponsored by 5SSR\, RiverSHARED\, Elmore Sand and Gravel and Cowin Equipment Rental. \nParticipants will learn what stream restoration is. Participants will be introduced to why we do stream restoration as an industry and community. Stream restoration construction will be presented in contrast to standard site civil grading. This course will also provide the participants with information and a pathway to enter the stream restoration construction industry or improve current construction processes to optimize efficiencies as a stream restoration contractor. \nDATES: Thursday – Friday August 20-21\, 2026 (Optional field day on August 22nd) \nLOCATION: City of Opelika Public Library | 1100 Glenn St\, Opelika\, AL 36801  \nDETAILS: \n\nHosted by: Auburn University Water Resources Center\nLed by: David Bidelspach\, RiverSHARED/5SSR\, Wade Burcham\, RiverSHARED/5020\, Mike Akins\, Creekline\, Jeremy Dickey/Cowin Equipment Rental\nCEU’s available | Lunch provided\nCost for all 3 days: $300\, Students and municipal employees fee waived \n\n  \nDRAFT AGENDA \nThursday\, August 20 \n\n\n\nTime\nTopic\nPresenter\n\n\n9:00\nWelcome & Introductions\nAUWRC\n\n\n9:15\nGood Bad and Ugly Streams\nRiverSHARED/ 5SSR\n\n\n9:45\nWhat is Stream Restoration\nRiverSHARED/ 5SSR\n\n\n10:30\nStreams Restoration Construction Tools\nRiverSHARED/ 5SSR\n\n\n11:00\nBreak\n\n\n\n11:15\nConstruction Sequence and Sediment and Erosion Control\nRiverSHARED/ 5020\n\n\n11:45\nConstruction Equipment and Labor\nRiverSHARED/ Cowin\n\n\n12:30\nLunch and Transport\n5SSR and Cowin Sponsored\n\n\n1:00\nField Creekline – \nChannel Dimension and Vegetation\nRiverSHARED/Creekline\n\n\n2:00\nCreek Walk Stream Concerns and Measurements\nRiverSHARED/5SSR\n\n\n3:00\nGroup ideas discussion \nStream Potential \nTiming for Construction \nRestoration Potential \nErosion Control \nTools and Accessibility \nConstructability Optimization \nHigh Potential \n \nBreakout Groups\n\n\n4:00\nDepart Pepperell Creek\n\n\n\n\n  \n  \nFriday\, August 21 \n\n\n\nTime\nTopic\nPresenter\n\n\n9:00\nStream Questions\nAUWRC\n\n\n9:15\nStream Restoration Methods\nRiverSHARED/5SSR\n\n\n9:45\nSediment and Erosion Control Supply\nRiverSHARED/5SSR\n\n\n10:30\nBreak\n\n\n\n11:00\nMaster planning and Phasing\nRiverSHARED/ 5020\n\n\n11:30\nInfrastructure Consideration\nRiverSHARED/ 5020\n\n\n12:00\nPriority Levels and Grading\nRiverSHARED/5SSR\n\n\n12:30\nLunch\n\n\n\n1:00\nConcept Design Pepperell – Groups\nBreakout Groups\n\n\n2:00\nInnovative Construction Ideas and More\nRiverSHARED/5SSR\n\n\n3:00\nOptional: Concept Design at Pepperell\nRiverSHARED/Creekline\n\n\n\n  \n  \nOptional Demo on Construction Site Elmore Alabama: Saturday\, August 22 \n\n\n\nTime\nTopic\nPresenter\n\n\n8:00\nMortar Creek Intro and Safety\nRiverSHARED/5SSR\n\n\n8:30\nSEC/3-D Excavation Grading\nRiverSHARED/5SSR\n\n\n9:30\nTransplants and Supply Skid Steer\nRiverSHARED/5SSR\n\n\n10:30\nHauling and Construction Production – Tracked Crawler Dump\nRiverSHARED/5SSR\n\n\n11:30\nValue added Construction Engineering and Surveying\nRiverSHARED/ 5020\n\n\n12:00\nMonitoring\nRiverSHARED/ 5020\n\n\n12:30\nLunch Onsite Provide\nRiverSHARED/5SSR\n\n\n1:00\nDiscussion and Questions\nZone 2\n\n\n1:30\nPost Construction Observation\nZone 1 North\n\n\n3:00\nPre-Construction RLA\nZone 3\n\n\n5:00\nDepart
