Bank Rod Installation Procedures


Because of the near horizontal banks, bank rods were installed vertically into the bank. Two bank rods were installed per location, one near the permanent vegetation line (as shown in photos below)and one approximately 12 ft in-bank from the permanent vegetation line.
