Parsons. 2006. Engineering Report - Stream Management Plan, Herbert Hoover National Historic Site, West Branch, Iowa
This report describes the engineering analysis of causes of instabilities in Hoover Creek that threaten cultural resources in Herbert Hoover National Historic Site and the subsequent basis for development of preliminary alternatives for channel restoration and flood protection in the subject site. Parsons staff collected field data; assessed geomorphic conditions; and evaluated various restoration themes, levels of service, and alternatives. This final report incorporates comments received from the public meetings and park staff, including revisions to future hydrological conditions that were requested per the City of West Branch Stormwater Policy; a draft was prepared in October 2004.
