1
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:02,430
Hello. 
This is Joe Wheaton,

2
00:00:02,430 --> 00:00:07,100
and we're going to start in
on this design module.

3
00:00:07,100 --> 00:00:09,700
Just getting off on the right foot.

4
00:00:09,700 --> 00:00:11,450
And that is,

5
00:00:11,450 --> 00:00:13,200
taking out of the planning phase,

6
00:00:13,610 --> 00:00:15,060
what we learned,

7
00:00:15,060 --> 00:00:18,338
and leading the design
with recovery potential from that.

8
00:00:20,900 --> 00:00:24,578
So we're here in module four
talking about design,

9
00:00:25,361 --> 00:00:27,400
in the restoration process.

10
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:30,800
We spent module three
working through the planning.

11
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:32,050
Okay?

12
00:00:32,050 --> 00:00:36,100
And it's easy to just kind of 
jump in and, like, you know.

13
00:00:36,100 --> 00:00:37,800
You know, we're eager. 
Let's just —

14
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:38,950
Let's get a design.

15
00:00:38,950 --> 00:00:41,600
Let's, let's make some structures.

16
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:44,470
I'm going to try and convince you of this,

17
00:00:44,470 --> 00:00:49,406
never to start a design without that 
critical context from the planning phase.

18
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:54,006
Well, what context explicitly
are we talking about?

19
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:59,700
Well, we're talking about
getting the conditions

20
00:00:59,700 --> 00:01:01,200
and the recovery potential.

21
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:03,400
And remember that 
in the design phase,

22
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:06,900
our alternatives, 
our design opportunities,

23
00:01:06,900 --> 00:01:10,620
is really defined by the gap
between condition and recovery potential.

24
00:01:10,620 --> 00:01:13,930
And, you know, we've got to make
this judgment call

25
00:01:13,930 --> 00:01:17,586
on how many treatments will
it take to get to that recovery potential.

26
00:01:17,586 --> 00:01:20,500
And then if you—
and once you get there,

27
00:01:20,500 --> 00:01:23,249
what's it going to take 
for it to become self-sustaining?

28
00:01:23,249 --> 00:01:24,849
Okay.

29
00:01:25,500 --> 00:01:29,110
Oh, that's interesting.
Not what I wanted.

30
00:01:34,900 --> 00:01:36,620
Okay.

31
00:01:40,300 --> 00:01:44,218
So. Coming right in,

32
00:01:44,218 --> 00:01:47,056
reminding yourself of 
riverscapes principles,

33
00:01:47,056 --> 00:01:49,402
reminding ourselves that 
streams need space.

34
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:53,609
We're not going to start our design
without the valley bottom mapped.

35
00:01:53,610 --> 00:01:54,680
Okay.

36
00:01:57,300 --> 00:02:00,818
Always important to remind yourself
that definition of a valley bottom,

37
00:02:00,818 --> 00:02:01,797
and a riverscape.

38
00:02:01,797 --> 00:02:08,470
The valley bottom is the area of the 
landscape that could plausibly flood,

39
00:02:09,900 --> 00:02:15,222
by their rivers and streams 
in the natural contemporary flow regime.

40
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,170
The riverscape is just 
those valley bottoms

41
00:02:18,170 --> 00:02:20,600
throughout the entire drainage network.

42
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:21,740
Okay.

43
00:02:23,100 --> 00:02:24,600
So this is, this is our...

44
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:26,300
Our sort of mantra.

45
00:02:26,300 --> 00:02:29,600
So let's go back 
to what you guys did yesterday.

46
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:35,242
In module three, 
you mapped the active channels,

47
00:02:35,242 --> 00:02:36,220
you mapped the fans.

48
00:02:36,220 --> 00:02:39,300
You did that to kind of back in
to what the valley bottom was, right?

49
00:02:39,300 --> 00:02:41,000
The rest of the space.

50
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,460
And so you mapped these 
valley bottom margins,

51
00:02:44,460 --> 00:02:45,800
you mapped those fans.

52
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,400
So, you knew what
protruded out into the valley,

53
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:49,800
and you mapped the channel.

54
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:51,500
So you get the confining margin,

55
00:02:51,500 --> 00:02:54,500
and look at the position, 
on the valley floor.

56
00:02:55,500 --> 00:02:58,180
So the green area
is roughly what you derived.

57
00:02:58,180 --> 00:02:59,712
Okay?
That's your valley bottom.

58
00:02:59,712 --> 00:03:03,621
Area that could plausibly flood 
in the contemporary natural flow regime.

59
00:03:04,500 --> 00:03:06,660
Your design opportunity,
as we said,

60
00:03:06,660 --> 00:03:09,720
is defined by this gap between 
condition and recovery potential.

61
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,922
And so,
what we talked about is,

62
00:03:12,922 --> 00:03:15,612
both Weber and I talked about this,

63
00:03:15,612 --> 00:03:21,411
is to get at least 
one expression of condition,

64
00:03:21,411 --> 00:03:22,700
one indicator of condition.

65
00:03:22,950 --> 00:03:26,110
We're going to split the valley bottom
that we have here in yellow,

66
00:03:26,110 --> 00:03:30,800
into these different, components,

67
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,170
but they're actually tier one
geomorphic units

68
00:03:33,170 --> 00:03:35,080
in the fluvial taxonomy.

69
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:39,500
So basically, active floodplain,
active channel, inactive floodplain.

70
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,600
Okay, so...

71
00:03:45,670 --> 00:03:47,650
We could do this for this whole thing.

72
00:03:47,650 --> 00:03:50,873
But, at this scale,
it's kind of hard to see.

73
00:03:50,873 --> 00:03:53,795
So we're going to zoom in.

74
00:03:54,100 --> 00:03:56,220
We're gonna zoom in here.

75
00:03:56,220 --> 00:03:59,900
And we're going to take you to Pops...

76
00:03:59,900 --> 00:04:01,000
Pops's ranch.

77
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:02,019
Okay.

78
00:04:02,779 --> 00:04:06,570
So just a reminder, 
we said condition can be expressed.

79
00:04:06,570 --> 00:04:09,300
by mapping the inactive portion 
of floodplains.

80
00:04:09,300 --> 00:04:11,900
And we have this example here, okay.

81
00:04:11,900 --> 00:04:17,300
And so, I've faked 
hypothetical property boundaries.

82
00:04:17,300 --> 00:04:21,000
You know, just kind of looking at,
some fence lines and some other stuff.

83
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:22,200
So there you go.

84
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:23,500
There's Pops's ranch.

85
00:04:23,500 --> 00:04:26,300
Okay, here's Pops's house.

86
00:04:26,300 --> 00:04:27,700
There's his barn.

87
00:04:27,700 --> 00:04:31,300
It's got a nice corral down here,
some outbuildings, etc.

88
00:04:33,500 --> 00:04:36,642
And so what I've done is
I've gone and just, you know,

89
00:04:36,642 --> 00:04:39,146
because I was zoomed in,
I can do a little nicer job.

90
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:42,682
First thing I did was I mapped
the valley bottom.

91
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,580
I stopped it right here,
right at the property line.

92
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:49,514
And it goes all along.

93
00:04:49,514 --> 00:04:51,470
And notice here,

94
00:04:51,470 --> 00:04:54,045
how I don't have the 
valley bottom Fall Creek mapped,

95
00:04:54,045 --> 00:04:57,000
but the valley bottom, 
just the valley bottom of Coburn Creek.

96
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:00,536
And so this part that comes out,
I think some of you know what this is.

97
00:05:01,416 --> 00:05:04,760
It's really low angle,
so it might be a little deceiving.

98
00:05:05,100 --> 00:05:07,100
But this is the fan.

99
00:05:07,100 --> 00:05:09,400
It's the fan of Coburn Creek. Okay?

100
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:13,100
Now it doesn't matter
that this isn't really active fan, right,

101
00:05:13,100 --> 00:05:16,500
necessarily, like active in the sense
that this building could still

102
00:05:16,500 --> 00:05:18,200
be kind of flooding a little bit.

103
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,800
But this is what we're dealing with, okay?

104
00:05:22,430 --> 00:05:27,338
So this polygon is 146 acres.

105
00:05:27,338 --> 00:05:29,999
And, if you want to go zoom
around the map, you can.

106
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:33,700
This is 82 acres.

107
00:05:33,830 --> 00:05:36,139
So this link is going 
to take you to this map,


108
00:05:36,139 --> 00:05:37,900
and these games that I played.

109
00:05:37,900 --> 00:05:42,260
So 82 acres of Coburn Creek valley bottom.

110
00:05:42,260 --> 00:05:44,130
That's kind of what we're dealing with.

111
00:05:44,130 --> 00:05:47,634
That's going to be 
our basis for normalization

112
00:05:47,634 --> 00:05:50,000
of everything that we report.

113
00:05:50,250 --> 00:05:51,950
Zoomed in here,
you can see that

114
00:05:51,950 --> 00:05:54,050
there is an area that's grazed.

115
00:05:54,050 --> 00:05:57,096
There's also a bunch of little 
relic channels and stuff in here.

116
00:05:57,096 --> 00:06:00,000
Not a relic, but like high stage channels,
I should say.

117
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,900
There's actually some beaver dams, 
on the floodplain here.

118
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:08,160
Oddly, over here
against the toe of this slope, too.

119
00:06:08,700 --> 00:06:11,190
And there's evidence of run out.

120
00:06:11,700 --> 00:06:15,320
If you zoom in, you will notice
that there is a canal.

121
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,300
And that canal comes along here.

122
00:06:18,740 --> 00:06:21,930
And, I don't know if these are just, 
trailing, by cows,

123
00:06:21,930 --> 00:06:24,700
or if this is just kind of getting
this water over to here,

124
00:06:24,700 --> 00:06:27,800
and they just irrigate,
flood irrigate this meadow.

125
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,906
But, that's some of the infrastructure.

126
00:06:30,906 --> 00:06:33,600
There's also a fence that comes along.

127
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:37,100
You can basically make out 
the fence line all along there.

128
00:06:37,700 --> 00:06:38,510
All right.

129
00:06:40,590 --> 00:06:43,090
So, conditions.

130
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:48,170
I mapped out the inactive
part of the floodplain.

131
00:06:48,700 --> 00:06:53,300
Just based off of objective evidence
of what it looked like was...

132
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:55,670
What was flooding.

133
00:06:55,670 --> 00:06:58,920
Now, I used some vegetation indicators.

134
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:02,230
I used what looked like evidence 
of flooding on this floodplain.

135
00:07:02,230 --> 00:07:04,920
You can see a little bit
when you zoom in on this.

136
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:07,740
Is this perfect?
Eh.

137
00:07:07,740 --> 00:07:09,810
But I think it's reasonably defensible.

138
00:07:09,810 --> 00:07:11,279
What did I come up with?

139
00:07:11,279 --> 00:07:14,909
Well, I came up with when I mapped it,
traced out the active channel in blue.

140
00:07:15,500 --> 00:07:16,800
That's about four acres.

141
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,434
So it's about five percent
of the valley bottom.

142
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:23,100
I mapped the inactive portion,
that's 41.

143
00:07:23,100 --> 00:07:27,900
So, 41 plus four is 45.

144
00:07:27,900 --> 00:07:30,300
Subtract that from 82,
I get my 37 acres.

145
00:07:30,470 --> 00:07:34,820
So, the proportion of the valley bottom
that's active is 50 percent.

146
00:07:34,820 --> 00:07:37,247
It puts us kind of 
dead smack in the middle here.

147
00:07:37,247 --> 00:07:39,230
Right in sort of a moderate condition.

148
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:43,200
So remember we looked at this, right?

149
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,600
So, you know, we're somewhere in,

150
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,600
you know, something, along these lines.

151
00:07:50,570 --> 00:07:56,160
If we were to use the more expanded—
which I think is useful here...

152
00:07:57,700 --> 00:07:59,817
Stream evolution model,

153
00:07:59,817 --> 00:08:03,454
it's probably in this 
laterally active condition.

154
00:08:03,454 --> 00:08:06,889
Right? Our geomorphic conditions,
it's laterally active.

155
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:08,900
I say that,

156
00:08:08,900 --> 00:08:12,759
because the other candidate might be
quasi equilibrium,

157
00:08:12,759 --> 00:08:15,950
or stage one sinuous single thread.

158
00:08:15,950 --> 00:08:20,369
If we go back,
there is this sinuous single thread,

159
00:08:20,369 --> 00:08:22,116
but if you start zooming in,

160
00:08:22,116 --> 00:08:24,842
this does have the feel of a channel
that's been pushed up

161
00:08:24,842 --> 00:08:27,030
against that valley bottom,

162
00:08:27,030 --> 00:08:29,730
our valley margin 
and valley bottom margin.

163
00:08:30,070 --> 00:08:33,353
And it just feels like it's
kicking everywhere it can.

164
00:08:33,353 --> 00:08:36,959
There's a lot of active bank erosion,
lateral widening.

165
00:08:37,599 --> 00:08:40,366
Little hints in a few of these bends,

166
00:08:40,366 --> 00:08:44,803
tendencies to build 
mid-channel bars and islands.

167
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:48,750
But just not multi-threaded, yet.

168
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:55,040
It's, so I think it's laterally active, 
is the right call.

169
00:08:58,930 --> 00:09:02,510
Remember, we said the answer, 
you know, is recovery potential,

170
00:09:02,510 --> 00:09:05,800
to this question of,
how much is in play for restoration?

171
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:08,500
We're going to map that with pink, okay?

172
00:09:08,500 --> 00:09:12,010
So recall,
we have this valley bottom land use,

173
00:09:12,530 --> 00:09:16,400
And notice how what we mapped
is not a million miles off

174
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:22,500
what I was just showing you
for the inactive versus active, right?

175
00:09:22,500 --> 00:09:25,000
These are reasonably close.

176
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:28,810
Not bad considering we're doing it
off of a pretty coarse resolution.

177
00:09:29,500 --> 00:09:35,030
Well, we asked Pops about
recovery potential. Okay?

178
00:09:35,030 --> 00:09:40,820
So remember, recovery potential 
is the valley bottom,

179
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:48,500
minus what the landowner
or the land manager is willing to accept.

180
00:09:49,580 --> 00:09:52,900
This is an interesting exercise
with good old Pops.

181
00:09:52,900 --> 00:09:54,960
By the way, there is 
no such thing as Pops.

182
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:56,850
I just made this guy up.

183
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:04,700
Coming into this,
the yellow area with 50%,

184
00:10:04,700 --> 00:10:12,300
that qualifies as active,
50% qualifies as inactive.

185
00:10:12,300 --> 00:10:16,300
Okay, so the active is
the active floodplain and active channel.

186
00:10:16,300 --> 00:10:18,300
Notice where pops put the pink line.

187
00:10:18,300 --> 00:10:21,600
Okay. Tracks right here.
Pretty good. Pretty good.

188
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:25,450
Then there's this,
these real straight lines. Why?

189
00:10:26,100 --> 00:10:28,350
Well, that's where his fences are.

190
00:10:28,900 --> 00:10:32,600
Notice the fence goes right
across this active, meander bend

191
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:35,900
that's laterally eroded
into the fence, it's gone.

192
00:10:35,900 --> 00:10:37,170
There's another spot here,

193
00:10:37,170 --> 00:10:40,200
where the road, 
or a little trail, is gone.

194
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:44,637
So in this space right here,

195
00:10:44,637 --> 00:10:48,790
Pops isn't really admitting 
that it's active,

196
00:10:48,790 --> 00:10:52,400
He doesn't really see it as that,
and that kind of makes sense.

197
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:54,800
He doesn't have his cows
out here in the winter.

198
00:10:54,800 --> 00:11:01,800
And his cows use this in the spring,
and as a summer pasture.

199
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:04,678
He's actually pushing them up
to higher ground in the summer.

200
00:11:04,678 --> 00:11:07,814
So it's really kind of 
the spring and the fall,

201
00:11:07,814 --> 00:11:09,700
and then the cows 
are taken somewhere else.

202
00:11:09,700 --> 00:11:11,620
I'm making that up, too.

203
00:11:12,100 --> 00:11:17,900
But this is an interesting 
sort of gap because,

204
00:11:17,900 --> 00:11:21,895
what he's saying is that you
could have 35% of this

205
00:11:21,895 --> 00:11:24,300
for the river
to, you know, do better with.

206
00:11:24,300 --> 00:11:27,000
So the uplift, 
if we use this indicator,

207
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:32,150
or we were to use proportion active
as an indicator of overall health,

208
00:11:32,150 --> 00:11:40,600
there's actually no uplift, right?
So what do we do in a situation like that?

209
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:44,030
Well, one conclusion is,
if the reason you have funding,

210
00:11:44,030 --> 00:11:45,705
if the reason you're interested in this,

211
00:11:45,705 --> 00:11:48,260
you really do care about 
increasing the amount of valley bottom

212
00:11:48,260 --> 00:11:49,394
that could be active...

213
00:11:50,644 --> 00:11:53,120
Maybe this isn't the right project.

214
00:11:54,490 --> 00:11:57,563
What he's come up with is logical.
It's following the fence line.

215
00:11:57,563 --> 00:11:59,600
We can dig in a little deeper here.

216
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:04,100
So how do you feel, Pops, about
channel change and floodplain reconnection?

217
00:12:04,100 --> 00:12:06,840
Well, he's able to give the stream
some space to adjust

218
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:09,750
and push into the valley bottom,
but not all of it. Okay.

219
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:12,200
Yeah, there's beaver there.

220
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:14,470
He's got no problem with them.
They're kind of interesting.

221
00:12:14,470 --> 00:12:15,916
So he's willing to allow that.

222
00:12:15,916 --> 00:12:18,930
And he's fine to deal 
with adaptive management.

223
00:12:18,930 --> 00:12:21,200
Okay, I mean maybe,

224
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:24,200
Maybe there's still some room
to talk about this.

225
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:27,500
Maybe, a better indicator might be,

226
00:12:27,500 --> 00:12:30,985
instead of one, relating to
riverscape principle one,

227
00:12:30,985 --> 00:12:32,200
streams need space,

228
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:36,390
maybe for this project with Pops,
a better indicator might be

229
00:12:36,390 --> 00:12:43,100
the proportion of the valley bottom,
or the inundation extent at low flow.

230
00:12:43,100 --> 00:12:43,950
Right?

231
00:12:43,950 --> 00:12:47,006
So if we were to look at this, 
this reach...

232
00:12:48,350 --> 00:12:51,120
This is actually a high flow 
that we're looking at,

233
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:52,900
sort of a bankful flow.

234
00:12:53,510 --> 00:12:55,607
And if we were to look at it,

235
00:12:55,607 --> 00:12:59,830
you could have some 
more structural forcing in here

236
00:12:59,830 --> 00:13:03,380
that would lead to more connectivity.

237
00:13:03,380 --> 00:13:06,461
So, this idea of,

238
00:13:06,461 --> 00:13:09,400
pretty much that whole thing's
free flowing right now.

239
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:11,300
Could we get some structure in there,

240
00:13:11,300 --> 00:13:14,977
that increases some of the
inundation extent at low flows?

241
00:13:14,977 --> 00:13:15,766
Yeah. That's—

242
00:13:15,766 --> 00:13:18,600
That could be something worth exploring.

243
00:13:18,700 --> 00:13:23,080
So what could Pop's reach of Coburn be?

244
00:13:24,500 --> 00:13:25,200
Well.

245
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:28,260
Even if it's just 
in this recovery potential

246
00:13:28,260 --> 00:13:30,160
that he's willing to concede,

247
00:13:31,451 --> 00:13:33,800
We might be able to get some more
inundation area,

248
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:37,215
and we might be able to
shift it to this stage eight,

249
00:13:37,215 --> 00:13:39,679
sort of a weakly anastomosing system.

250
00:13:40,790 --> 00:13:43,300
By the way, we call that wandering.

251
00:13:44,945 --> 00:13:48,630
So maybe we could get a little bit of a
wandering system in those few places

252
00:13:48,630 --> 00:13:51,200
where there's space 
and he's willing to allow it.

253
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,460
Sort of it's tendency anyway.

254
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:58,000
And again, recovery potential 
can change over time.

255
00:13:58,340 --> 00:14:02,200
Well, Pops has a hypothetical daughter.

256
00:14:03,060 --> 00:14:06,100
And, Pops isn't going 
to be around forever.

257
00:14:07,100 --> 00:14:10,000
And he likes his daughter a lot.

258
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:13,300
This daughter, you know,
just loves the river.

259
00:14:13,300 --> 00:14:15,700
She grew up here,
loves the ranch,

260
00:14:15,700 --> 00:14:18,500
and, yes, I'm making all this up.

261
00:14:18,500 --> 00:14:23,700
And she saw the the map,
and she kind of got upset with Pops.

262
00:14:23,700 --> 00:14:27,700
What she said is,
Oh, come on. Really?

263
00:14:27,700 --> 00:14:30,580
I mean, we're just putting the cows out,
and, you know,

264
00:14:30,580 --> 00:14:32,724
whether or not it's us
irrigating the pasture,

265
00:14:32,724 --> 00:14:35,198
or whether or not it's,
you know,

266
00:14:35,198 --> 00:14:37,580
the river spreading out
and doing this stuff,

267
00:14:37,580 --> 00:14:38,690
the cows can get in there.

268
00:14:38,690 --> 00:14:39,560
They can use that,

269
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:42,180
for the little bit that we use it
in the spring, and the summer,

270
00:14:42,180 --> 00:14:45,620
but we do have this irrigation canal
right along here.

271
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:47,050
Okay?

272
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:53,274
And what she suggested is, yeah,

273
00:14:53,274 --> 00:14:55,700
let's just go right off 
the irrigation canal.

274
00:14:55,700 --> 00:14:59,296
This is gravity fed, so it wouldn't be
a very easy thing to move.

275
00:14:59,296 --> 00:15:01,020
It'd be expensive, etc.

276
00:15:01,100 --> 00:15:06,200
They want to keep that operational,
and so, this is her recovery potential,

277
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:09,410
The same as Pops up here,
but then she's conceding...

278
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:14,200
Not just—I mean, Pops's line
was way back down here, right?

279
00:15:14,500 --> 00:15:16,700
So she's conceding not just

280
00:15:16,700 --> 00:15:21,297
that gap between that
and the inactive floodplain boundary,

281
00:15:21,297 --> 00:15:22,450
but saying, hey,

282
00:15:22,450 --> 00:15:25,140
you could go all the way up to the canal,
and then, you know,

283
00:15:25,140 --> 00:15:27,300
once you get past the barn, hey,

284
00:15:27,300 --> 00:15:29,100
and there's these few 
little beaver dams here,

285
00:15:29,100 --> 00:15:31,100
and all the way down
onto the fan of this thing.

286
00:15:31,100 --> 00:15:33,140
I mean, this could
really just spread out.

287
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:40,130
So by contrast, you know,
she's got 63 acres of recovery potential,

288
00:15:40,130 --> 00:15:42,430
76% of the valley bottom,

289
00:15:43,330 --> 00:15:46,910
that, you know, that could come back.

290
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:52,000
So, the uplift potential 
is 22 acres, or 53%.

291
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:55,200
So that's pretty, 
that's pretty exciting.

292
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:56,600
And so...

293
00:15:56,600 --> 00:16:00,540
You know, Pops...
Pops may, you know,

294
00:16:00,540 --> 00:16:03,020
Carol is the future,
so he lets,

295
00:16:03,020 --> 00:16:04,930
he lets her run the show.

296
00:16:05,500 --> 00:16:08,300
So what could Carol's 
reach of Coburn be?

297
00:16:08,300 --> 00:16:11,208
Well, up at the top there—
right in here?

298
00:16:11,700 --> 00:16:14,030
Maybe stage eight still, right?

299
00:16:15,750 --> 00:16:21,030
However, towards the bottom, right,
where we could spread out,

300
00:16:21,030 --> 00:16:22,450
get across this whole thing,

301
00:16:22,450 --> 00:16:24,118
really spread out into this fan?

302
00:16:24,118 --> 00:16:28,800
You know, maybe,
stage zero effectively, eventually.

303
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:35,036
So, this is just reinforcement
of what we did in planning, right?

304
00:16:35,036 --> 00:16:36,400
This is so fundamental.

305
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:40,200
Because this sets 
the boundary conditions for your design.

306
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:43,150
This sets, you know, 
how I'm going to approach this.

307
00:16:43,150 --> 00:16:45,210
What's the target I'm shooting for?

308
00:16:45,210 --> 00:16:48,420
Not necessarily that you're going
to get there in your first design,

309
00:16:48,420 --> 00:16:55,300
but It's a really, really helpful way
to queue you up successfully.

310
00:16:55,300 --> 00:16:58,375
So in conclusion, never start a design

311
00:16:58,375 --> 00:17:00,578
without that critical context 
from planning.

312
00:17:00,578 --> 00:17:04,100
The design opportunity is defined 
by that gap

313
00:17:04,100 --> 00:17:05,100
between condition and recovery potential.

314
00:17:05,100 --> 00:17:10,775
Scott Shavarian's going to
walk you through the design process

315
00:17:10,775 --> 00:17:14,470
focusing at the complex scale,
and inheriting these sorts of,

316
00:17:14,470 --> 00:17:21,750
objectives, design objectives,
out of what this planning process reveals.

317
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:25,400
Thank you very much.
