The collapsed bank was excavated to a uniform slope, and the base was lined with oak trees killed for this, see branches in foreground. Note growing point bar, and see extensive loss of project slope at view left with revetment trees gone. This part is hidden in previous photo and is at mid-point of curve where erosion is usually worse. With so much bank gone that their anchors are gone, revetment trees are gone. Toe detail looking downstream Bank is commonly eroded under row of dead trees first, undercutting behind them where storm flow then scours away more bank.
