BMP ID Short Title Text of BMP
1310 Address local scour of crossing for pipeline safety "In addition to long-term channel degradation at the pipeline crossing, local scour of the crossing must be addressed for pipeline safety."
1309 Bury pipeline crossings to address all components of stream change "Pipeline crossings that are buried rather than suspended above all major flow events should address all of the components of degradation, scour, and ...
1313 Conduct analysis before burying pipelines at channel crossings "The practice of burying pipelines at channel crossings likely is both cheaper and easier than suspending them above all flood flows; however, an ...
1314 Construct pipeline crossings above highest terrace "Pipeline crossings should be constructed to elevate the pipeline above the level of the highest and outermost terrace at the crossing. This level ...
1311 Detect long-term channel degradation "Detection of long-term channel degradation must be attempted, even if there is no indication of local scour."
1315 Locate pipelines that cross stream channels above flood flows "Pipelines that cross stream channels on the surface should be located above all possible flood flows that may occur at the site. At a minimum, ...
1312 Place pipeline crossings beneath all alluvial material "...an analysis of channel degradation and scour should be completed to ensure the lines are not exposed and broken during extreme runoff events. ...
