This technical briefing summarizes physical, chemical, and biological monitoring (2010–2014) of a bank stabilization pilot on the South River (Waynesboro, VA). Results show the stabilized bank withstood a 10‑year flood, modest geomorphic changes, average declines in sediment and pore‑water mercury despite high variability, fluctuating clam tissue IHg, and establishment of riparian vegetation and improved habitat.

Review Notes :
Document is titled 'Bank Stabilization Pilot Study: Technical Briefing Paper' with header date September 2014. Classified as Technical Documents and Monitoring Report because it summarizes monitoring results (physical, chemical, biological). Minor uncertainty in picking 'Monitoring Report' vs 'Technical Report' — brief explicitly summarizes monitoring data, so Monitoring Report was chosen.
