This document summarizes a study conducted by Clean Water Services to better understand stream erosion in the cohesive soils of the Tualatin River watershed. The study aims to (1) measure the erodibility and critical shear stress of local soils, (2) model how changes in flow may impact erosion, and (3) determine how vegetated corridors and other factors influence bank stability. The study involves testing soils from 50 sites, assessing 300 additional sites geomorphically, and analyzing the effects of 10 native riparian species on bank reinforcement. Preliminary findings suggest a wide range in soil erodibility and that factors like floodplains, vegetation corridors, and urbanization significantly impact stream health. The results will help inform
