• Year Three Summary

We found that McFarland Creek is an unstable stream due to its high sediment supply and decreased infltration/increased runoff due to development within the watershed.  The stream has been eroding its right bank at Flintlock Ridge Road at an average rate of 5 feet per year for the past ten years.  Eight feet of bank loss occurred at the Pool 3 cross-section in the ten months between December 2023 and September 2024.  The bank edge is currently about 70 feet from Flintlock Ridge Road and perhaps 60 feet from an underground sewer line that parallels the road.  In the lower reach, we observed bank erosion of nearly 20 feet at the Pool 2 cross-section where the stream makes a very sharp bend to the left with streambank materials composed of unconsolidated sand.  In general, the floodplain is wider in the lower reach than in the upper reach where McFarland Creek is attacking the streambank to create more floodplain and reach equilibrium.  We calculated bankfull stream velocities of 3 feet per second range and bankfull discharges of about 200 cubic feed per second in both reaches we studied.  We classified the lower reach as a Rosgen C4 stream and the upper reach as a B4c  stream.

We believe that ouir three field seasons of study between Octover 2022 and October 2024 will provide solid longitudinal data which can inform stream restoration efforts.  To mitigate bank erosion at Flintlock Ridge Road, a reference reach should be located and studied.  It should be a C4 stream with similar bankfull width, area, and discharge in an area less influenced by development.  The suite of data we collected at McFarland Creek should be collected at the reference reach with the goal of developing a collection of dimensionless rations which engineers can use to scale a natural channel design restoration of McFarland Creek.
