Description    


At all worksites, roads were closed (total 5 miles) and drainage improved. This included removing stream crossings and stabilizing slopes. Total estimated sediment savings is 15,615 cubic yards.

Project Benefit    


Improve spawning and rearing habitat by reducing coarse and fine sediment delivery for coho and Chinook salmon, and steelhead and cutthroat trout in a selected section of Elk River tributary to Humboldt Bay in Humboldt County. The objective is to save 11,608 cubic yards of sediment from delivery by dispersing road runoff on 6.2 miles of road, reestablishing drainage patterns at 22 stream crossings and removing or stabilizing sediment from 13 sites along the alignment.
