Little Blue River, Kansas: Over Nine Miles of River Stabilization & 166 Acres of Riparian Corridor Establishment By Phil Balch, with a little help from Dave Derrick Phil Balch Wildhorse Riverworks, Inc NW 13th Street Topeka, Kansas Mobile Office

2 Bank pins were installed at 12 sites in April 2000 to determine the migration rates of the river. The rebar is driven into the bank until the end is flush with the face of the bank.

3 Bank erosion pins both horizontal & vertical

4 21 ft of lateral migration in one month! Travelute Site Stake was placed 25 ft from breaking edge of top bank one month ago

Detailed P & S for Bendway Weirs

Little Blue River Hanover, KS. Hennerberg Site Built January 2002

Little Blue River Site # 1 Hennerberg Rosgen Stream Type = C4c Lateral Migration (Erosion) from March 2000 to August 2001 = 205 ft. Amount of soil loss = 231,200 tons Nutrient Content = 1,110 Lbs. NO3, 4,162 Lbs. P, 13,400 Lbs K

231,200 Tons Sediment 1,110 Lbs. NO34,162 Lbs. P13,400 Lbs K Volumes contributed to stream from 3/2000 to 8/ months (without a big flood!!) #1 - Hennerberg Site

Hennerberg Project, Little Blue River, Bendway Weirs constructed, bank laid back, no plantings or seeding yet. January 2002

Site # 1 - Hennerberg – March 2002 – Bendway Weirs built, bank sloped & seeded.

Little Blue River Tree & Shrub Planting Continuous CRP 100 Feet wide Riparian Planting 25 Feet Willow Cottonwood Sliver Maple Native Grass 25 Ft. Shrubs - American Plum, Fragrant Sumac, chokecherry Hardwoods – Walnut, Oak, Hackberry & Green Ash Sycamore, Silver Maple, & Cottonwood River

12 Site # 1 – Hennerberg - As part of a Kansas State University research project, every 3rd hardwood tree was placed in a tree shelter. Even with a severe drought, the seedlings in shelters out-performed those without a shelter. This picture was taken 5 months after planting.
