Description

The Project resulted in the construction of 72 large wood (LW) features with a total of 418 pieces of LW, including 130 key pieces and 49 logs with rootwads. The LW features were placed along 2.9 miles of Sproul Creek. Revegetation was completed with native trees/plants.

All FY16 and FY17 PCSRF funds were spent within the award period (even though the project ended outside the award periods).

Project Benefit

This project will benefit salmonids by increasing the availability of velocity refugia,

increasing instream and off channel shelter, and by improving spawning substrate availability.
