摘要

A physical assessment approach referred to as natural channel design (NCD) iscommonly used today by stream restoration practitioners, which requires an empiricalbasedcomparison between study and reference reaches. Use of available analyticaltools, or models, into pre-design physical assessments is not widely applied, anapproach that does not require a reference condition. As a case study, a comparison ofempirical and analytical approaches was conducted on Abrams Creek, located in theGreat Smoky Mountains National Park (GRSM), Tennessee. Historically, the AbramsCreek valley was used for subsistence agriculture beginning in the 19th century, andcattle grazing more recently between the 1930's and 1960's. Several tributaries and afew mainstem sections were channelized for agricultural purposes. GRSM resourcemanagers requested that a channel stability assessment be conducted to evaluatewhether restoration was needed because a consulting group was promoting a project onAbrams Creek in order to obtain mitigation credits. This study provided an opportunityto compare geomorphic data input/outputs used in NCD and analytical approaches.The NCD approach utilized stream classification and various geomorphic channelattributes at "bankfull" for a departure-type analysis. The analytical approach utilizedHEC-RAS and CONCEPTS models. Supporting these approaches, assessment ofchannel condition also included: aerial photo interpretation, rapid geomorphicassessments for stability indices, and longitudinal profile knickpoint analysis. Some ofthe findings included: 1) bankfull flow was greatly overestimated by the empiricalapproach, whereas HEC-RAS with a hydrological analysis provided a more reasonableestimate, 2) a departure analysis found that C4 study and reference reaches were similarfor most geomorphic attributes, except for channel slope and bank material, whichmade restoration needs difficult to discern, and 3) CONCEPTS provided usefulinformation on bed aggradation/degradation and bank failure rates, whereas the NCDapproach could not. In addition, similarities and differences of data input needs, andwhere professional judgment influences assessment outcomes were identified to betterunderstand uncertainties associated with outcomes for both assessment approaches.
