3. THE NATURAL, THEN CONSTRUCTED BOIL-UP POOL ON UPPER ONONDAGA CREEK, NEAR SYRACUSE, NEW YORK Constructed May 2006 The go-to guy, Mark Schaub with the Onondaga County Soil and Water Conservation District, Lafayette, NY.

4. Looking US toward the left bank. Note the interesting natural hook causing a Boil-Up pool. 4/18/2006

5. Another view of the left bank, 4/18/2006

6. Not much of a hook, but very effective at forming a natural deep, circular, scour pool. 4/18/2006

7. Natural Boil-Up Pool on Onondaga Creek. 4/18/2006

8. Looking DS, construction has begun on DS riprap and Engineered Rocked Riffle. 5/24/2006 From Mark Schaub

9. Looking DS, stone in, but not a great semi- circle yet-5/24/06 From Mark Schaub

10. Looking DS, bank stone & kicker in, still not a good semi -circle 5/24/2006 From Mark Schaub

11. Looking US, note how bank kicks current, just a little more tweaking needed (pull some toe stone back) 5/24/2006 From Mark Schaub

12. The next day, flow right to left. All angles and circles correct, note flow over curved kicker, truly a thing of beauty!!! From Mark Schaub

13. Looking DS. Planform now consists of two pools & a riffle within the bend 5/25/2006 From Mark Schaub

30. TRANSPLANTING EXISTING VEG AND/OR ROOT MATS WITH THE TRACKHOE {2 MINI CASE STUDIES}

31. ONONDAGA CREEK SITE 5-D Diamond-Oriented Traffic Control Stones with Single Stone Bendway Weirs (MINI CASE STUDY #1)

32. DIAMOND -ORIENTED TRAFFIC CONTROL STONES {TCS} WITH BEDLOAD BENCH IN BETWEEN, WITH TRANSPLANTED VEGETATION ON TOP OF TCS & BEDLOAD BENCH WITH SINGLE-STONE BENDWAY WEIRS ON EVERY 4th TCS.

33. TCS were typically 3 ft by 3 ft by 3 ft, spaced 6 to 8 ft apart, with bedload material choked in between forming a continuous bench. Vegetation was pulled down from top bank & placed on the bench. Every 4 th TCS was keyed into the bank & had a single- stone Bendway Weir added to the stream end.

37. Square stones (3 ft by 3 ft by 3 ft) placed with a sharp edge facing upstream, designed to “kick” flow off the bank, must be keyed into the bed & bank, spaced 6 to 8 ft apart, every 4th one should be keyed into the bank. Every 4th stone has a Single Stone Bendway Weir. Diamond-Oriented Traffic Control Stones with Single Stone Bendway Weirs Key TCS Key TCS SSBW TCS SSBW

39. Thalweg is dug and that bedload material is placed between the Traffic Control Stones to form a bench at the same height as the TCS. Diamond-Oriented Traffic Control Stones with Single Stone Bendway Weirs

64. THE VIFFLE A Derrick-McCullah idea hatched late at night in the Seattle airport while headed to Alaska Combining the best attributes of the Cross-Vane and the Engineered Rocked Riffle (rock vanes slowing currents near banks and riffle improving fish passage and creating a properly proportioned scour pool with flat sloped tail-out) Build the two Rock Vane arms of the Cross-Vane Downstream instead of a vertical drop build the rocked riffle. At DS end of riffle the stones are keyed into the bed & all stones are placed in compression

65. THE FOLLOWING VIFFLE IS NEW CONSTRUCTION, NOT A REPAIR OF AN EXISTING CROSSVANE
