192 5.1 Conclusions and Suggested Research 5.1.1 Conclusions This final report is based on research conducted under NCHRP Project 24-39, "Evaluation and Assessment of Environmentally Sensitive Stream Bank Protection Measures." This research accomplished its basic objectives of evaluating and assessing existing guidelines for the design, installation, monitoring, and maintenance of environmentally sensitive stream bank stabilization and protection measures. In addition, quantitative engineering design guidance was developed for selected treatments.

196 Evaluation and Assessment of Environmentally Sensitive Stream Bank Protection Measures 5.2.6 Criteria for Success The best criteria for judging the success of this implementation plan will be acceptance and use of the guidelines and recommendations that result from this research by state highway agency engineers and others with responsibility for design, maintenance, rehabilitation, or inspection of highway facilities. Progress can be gaged by peer reviews of technical presentations and publications and by the reaction of state DOT personnel to updated FHWA guidance documents and NHI training courses.

Conclusions and Suggested Research 197 performance of these two treatments and their vegetative components. Compilation of data, documentation, observations, and lessons learned from the site visit program added to the growing body of knowledge on design, installation, and performance for these techniques (see, for example, Goldsmith et al.
