Project Benefit

Specific Project objectives that are expected to benefit salmonids include: Adding spawning gravel to the main channel to enhance or create ~8 spawning riffles for adult salmonids. Build up the main channel to reduce habitats conducive to nonnative salmonid predators. Excavate and grade perched floodplain and remnant side channels to provide ~16.2 acres of high-quality rearing habitat to support an additional ~20,000-735,000 juvenile salmonids.
