Description

Regional high-resolution topographic data (LiDAR) and reconnaissance-level hydrologic and hydraulic analyses were used to quantify existing salmonid habitat conditions and identify and prioritize restoration opportunities on four watersheds, and to create conceptual off channel and instream habitat restoration designs at four sites.

Project Benefit

Delineate stream reaches possessing potential winter rearing habitat and floodplain area by analyzing channel and near-stream topography.

Description and scope of the plan implemented

RR-CCC-2.2.1.1 Delineate reaches possessing both potential winter rearing habitat and floodplain areas. Regional high-resolution topographic data (LiDAR) and reconnaissance-level hydrologic and hydraulic analyses were used to quantify existing salmonid habitat conditions and identify and prioritize restoration opportunities on four watersheds, and to create conceptual off channel and instream habitat restoration designs at four sites.
