Description: Stream Debris Removal means the removal of vegetation along the bank (clearing) and/or selective removal of snags, drifts, or other obstructions (snagging) from natural or improved channels and streams.
This practice may be implemented to:
- Reduce risks to agricultural resources by removing obstructions that hinder channel flow or sediment transport
- Reduce excessive bank erosion by eddies or redirection of flow caused by obstructions.
- Restore flow capacity and direction
- Minimize blockages by debris
To be eligible for cost share through the NC ACSP, Stream Debris Removal must result in documentable water quality improvements from reduced stream bank erosion on or adjacent to agricultural land.
