<\/h4>\nAdditional information<\/h4>\nA bed, bank or riparian ecotone of a watercourse or a strip of woodland or land strip referred to in section 27<\/a> or 34<\/a> must be stabilized immediately when disrupted. The risk of erosion may be reduced by carrying out the different phases of construction, improvement or repair work and stabilization as part of an ongoing sequence. The granular materials used and the soils exposed to erosion must therefore be stabilized as the work is being carried out.\n\nThe strip of woodland referred to in section 27<\/a> is at least 20 m wide and is located alongside an open peat bog with a pond, a swamp, a riparian shrub marsh, a lake or a permanent watercourse. The strip of woodland is measured from the boundary separating the stand from the environment to be protected or, where there is a riparian ecotone, from the limit of the ecotone located furthest from the environment to be protected.\n\nThe land strip referred to in section 34<\/a> is at least 6 m wide and is located alongside an open peat bog with a pond or an intermittent watercourse. The width of at least 6 m is measured from the boundary of the peat bog or the upper limit of the banks of the intermittent watercourse.\n\n<\/div>\nMaterials with a sufficient gauge and stable enough to be flood resistant must be used when stabilizing the bed and banks of a watercourse.\u00a0\n\n2<\/h2>\nObjectives<\/h4>\n\n \t- To avoid carrying sediment into an aquatic, wetland or riparian environment<\/li>\n \t
- To avoid scouring of a watercourse<\/li>\n \t
- To ensure the lifespan of a road, bridge or culvert<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/h4>\nAdditional information<\/h4>\nThe materials used to stabilize the watercourse bed must be able to support the water flow speed so that they are not eroded and carried away by the current. A variety of materials similar to those that make up the natural bed of the watercourse should be used (rounded materials with a variety of particle sizes), and they should be arranged so as to overlap one another. This ensures that the reconstituted bed is watertight, and that water cannot filter through the materials. The addition of large stones (roughly 1.5 times the size of the largest stones in the natural watercourse), scattered across the bed, will improve stability and prevent scouring. The presence of large stones also helps to create a variety of flow conditions and also to create shelter for fish. When the stones are installed, it is important to ensure that they are nested and anchored in the underlying substrate, by partially burying them.\n\n<\/div>\n \n\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":95265,"menu_order":0,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","_oasis_is_in_workflow":0,"_oasis_original":0,"_oasis_task_priority":""},"class_list":["post-95434","cpt_radf","type-cpt_radf","status-publish","format-standard","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nSection 114 -
