Description

The Project is comprised of 27 structures consisting of approximately 71 logs or LWD, 103 boulders, and 160 tons of small rock and cobble constructed within a total of 2100 feet of McKee Creek. The structures consist of 6 pool habitat and scour structures, 10 log weir structures, 6 boulder weir structures, and 3 unanchored LWD structures.

Project Benefit

The project will increase instream habitat complexity and shelter values by providing increased cover and shade habitat in existing pools.
