Located in the ancient and deeply weathered mid-Atlantic Piedmont physiographic province, Minebank Run is an outlier, with unusually high bed sediment loads. The combined effects of steep slopes and urbanization produce a flashy hydrology and high flows that have resulted in significant channel incision. Multiple stream restoration attempts have met with limited success, and infrastructure has failed due to the ongoing channel instability. Therefore, addressing the instability in Minebank Run requires a thorough investigation of sediment sources and the implementation of targeted management strategies to mitigate their impact. Identifying potential sediment sources and sinks in the watershed, quantifying source contributions and understanding transport pathways are crucial to effectively manage sediment at the watershed level. This research systematically examines historical changes in the watershed to understand how sediment transport in Minebank Run has changed over time. A field survey of the tributaries and main stem revealed system-wide knickpoints in the tributaries. Using LiDAR images, digital elevation models, existing sediment data inventories, and field data, the volume of sediment influx to the stream was calculated. Historical aerial images were analyzed to observe land use changes and to identify historical sediment sources and sinks. A sediment budget was developed, with a relative ranking of sediment sources. Comparison of historical and contemporary data of channel incision and migration of knickpoints will provide insights into the speed and scale of morphological changes. The anticipated results will aid in designing targeted management strategies to reduce sediment in the watershed, enhance the stability and quality of Minebank Run, and guide future efforts. This study will provide critical insights into managing unique and challenging cases like Minebank Run in urban environments.
