Ranking System for Prioritizing the Implementation of Restoration Projects across Three Streams in Central Minnesota

Maxwell,Joshua, Weiss,Jeff, Sobiech,Scott, Braun,Shanna, Blese,Clair, and Jordan, Michelle. October 2018. Ranking System for Prioritizing the Implementation of Restoration Projects across Three Streams in Central Minnesota. Watershed Science Bulletin. Center for Watershed Protection, Ellicott City, MD. 16 pages. Stream, restoration, Minnesota, creek, CRAS Prioritizing creek restoration projects can be challenging, especially when reaches span multiple and/or interacting waterbodies. The Creek Restoration Action Strategy (CRAS) is a tool for identifying stream sections in greatest need of restoration, beginning with consistent assessment of creek conditions. In developing the CRAS, eight prioritization categories were identified and grouped into two tiers: Tier I—infrastructure risk, channel…
