+ EEAs were used to stabilize and provide erosion protection to the 3H:1V slope above. The foundation for the EBS units was placed approximately 18-24 inches (46- 61 cm) below the streambed elevation for scour protection. A nonwoven geotextile and base stone were used to provide a stable foundation. EEAs were driven into the back slope for pullout resistance due to the soils and stream scour forces, with the channel being located within the meander bend. The bottom row of the EBS units were filled and backfilled with stone material to allow water to move through the system during changes in water level elevations while allowing any pore pressure behind the system to be relieved.
