From the introduction: "The purpose of this report is to develop metrics and evaluate the effectiveness of design features in rehabilitation sites constructed between 2005 and 2016. These metrics can be applied in future monitoring efforts which will further inform subsequent designs. A “feature” is defined here as a physical element in a rehabilitation design, such as: pool excavations, floodplains, large wood placements, boulder placements, channel realignment and the five features mentioned above. “Effectiveness” is defined slightly differently for each of the five feature-types, depending on the original design criteria; however, effectiveness is generally defined as “functioning at the design criteria under contemporary (i.e., 2016) conditions.” For example, if a side-channel constructed in 2012 was designed to flow at 300 cfs during winter baseflows, then effectiveness was graded based on whether that side-channel is still flowing at 300 cfs during winter baseflows in 2016."
