Faith Fitzpatrick (U.S. Geological Survey) Tom Slawski (Southeastern Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission) talk about design challenges related to finding reference characteristics for reconstruction more natural channels from stormwater-derived cement lined channels. Stream and wetland construction goes hand-in-hand with roadway construction.

Faith Fitzpatrick (U.S. Geological Survey) and Tom Slawski (Southeastern Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission) discuss intermittent riffle-pool channels in a dense urban highway environment. Even though the streams do not have flow year-round, pools maintain diverse aquatic life and floodplain connections between storm events.

Faith Fitzpatrick (U.S. Geological Survey) and Dave Fowler (Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District) describe how the deep tunnel system in the Milwaukee area has allowed enough flood storage to be able to take out the cement-lined channel and recreate a more natural riffle-pool type of channel with improved fish habitat and fish passage.
