RNRCD works with Vermont DEC to develop and update River Corridor Plans and Stream Geomorphic Assessments. The District then performs outreach and applies for funding to support the design and impelmentation of identified priority projects within plans and assessments. A Stream Geomorphic Assessment can be used to problem solve and set priorities for river corridor conservation at a watershed scale because it allows you to ascertain how one reach may be affecting the condition of another. Phase 1 and Phase two Stream Geomorphic Assessments inform the development of a River Corridor Plan. River Corridor Plans address the river instability that is largely responsible for erosion conflicts, increased sediment and nutrient loading, and a reduction in river habitat.
