Stream Restoration
Tim Schueler, Hazen's leading stream restoration engineering, stormwater BMP, and wetland delineation expert.
Stream restoration stabilizes riverbanks, reconnects floodplains, reduces nutrient and sediment pollution loads, and improves aquatic and stream valley habitat. It can offset the impacts of stream and infrastructure conflicts, contribute more balanced ecosystems and sustainable wildlife habitat, and restore impaired waterways to a healthier state.

For the Upper Watts Branch Forest Preserve Stream Restoration, we designed 2,066 feet of stream restoration, including repair of three failing stormwater outfalls and the protection of exposed sanitary assets, through an interactive public task-force process.
