Below is email that I received earlier this year on this subject.

Thank you for reaching out about your proposed bank stabilization project.  Attached is the application form that you will need to fill out and return to us along with a typical cross-section drawing and a plan view sketch.  Please also include an aerial map that shows the extent of where the work would be conducted.  I’ve also attached the consultant list for your reference, and as I mentioned on the phone, both Wildhorse Riverworks and The Watershed Institute have extensive experience designing projects that, along with protecting the bank, use bendway weirs, stream barbs, and other designs to push the thalwag (i.e. – strongest currents) away from the bank and out toward the center of the river channel…so they are a great resource as well.Additionally, I also included the application booklet…it is a little dated, but it does have a couple examples of what a plan view sketch and cross section drawing look like and a lot of other permit related guidance as well, but keep in mind, as we discussed on the phone, if you are able to keep the project closer to the 500’ length then the individual permit aspects that are covered in the booklet would not necessarily apply (i.e. – no individual water quality cert., public notice, mitigation plan, alternatives analysis, etc. for nationwide permits).

  Let me know if you have any additional questions whatsoever.

 Thanks!
