| Short description: |
Results indicate that stream restoration alone may have little effect on improving the conditions of in-stream water quality and biological habitat. It should be recognized that improvement may not be reflected in a two year post-restoration period and that additional monitoring is needed. Also, reduction of stormwater runoff volumes and associated pollutants of concern should be addressed in the watershed through source control and stormwater retrofits to achieve desired biological outcomes.
