Riprap is what I've seen used around here for erosion control. Of course, solving erosion problems in a waterway often results in silting one place and erosion further downstream.

Seven foot of moving water in an 8' bank sounds like a liability problem that was caused by somebody else and I guess that's another possible approach of a legal type. There was something like that near where we lived when I was in the second grade and it's likely not a good thing for small children to have access to. Trouble was that it sure was fun to play in. Solving the damming may be another issue worth solving. Wonder where the trash comes from?
