Summary

As part of a collaborative study with the City of Raleigh, North Carolina, the U.S. Geological Survey is assessing streambank erosion potential in selected stream reaches throughout the Greater Raleigh metropolitan area. Rapid field measurement techniques were used to assess streambank stability at 124 stream segments between January and March 2022. Field data were collected using the Bank Erosion Hazard Index (BEHI) and Near Bank Stress (NBS) assessment methods (Rosgen, 2001; Rosgen and others, 2008) as well as the Rapid Geomorphic Assessment (RGA) method (Simon and others, 2007). This Data Release contains a dataset with all stream site information, field measurements, and streambank stability assessment results; stream site photographs; [...]

This Data Release contains a dataset with all stream site information, field measurements, and streambank stability assessment results; stream site photographs; and a shapefile showing the approximate locations of stream segments.

Purpose

These data were collected as part of a collaborative study between the U.S. Geological Survey and City of Raleigh, North Carolina, to help identify stream reaches throughout the Raleigh metropolitan area that may be most susceptible to streambank erosion.
