 Mussetter Engineering, Inc - Genesee River Stability Analysis/ Beards Creek Erosion Control Plan, New York
Mussetter Engineering, Inc. (MEI) performed a geomorphic, hydraulic and sediment transport study of an approximately 20-mile long reach of the Genesee River, and two major tributaries (Beards Creek and Canaseraga Creek) to evaluate the effects of subsidence caused by the collapse of an underground salt mine on the stability and flood-carrying capacity of the streams.
Between the initial collapse and late November 1995, significant subsidence occurred in an approximately 4.5 mi2 area of the Genesee River valley due to dissolution of the mine pillars.
The study results indicated that the subsidence was unlikely to have a significant impact on the vertical stability of the river up- or downstream from the subsidence-affected area, because of the coarse-grained nature of the bed material and the presence of bedrock outcrop in the river.
