Description    


This project will improve spawning and rearing conditions for Coho Salmon by: 1) constructing a minimum of 26 wood structures to encourage braiding, channel aggradation, and floodplain connectivity, 2) constructing 3 side channels for 950 ft of new channel, 3) creating 2 off-channel ponds for 6,900 square feet of new low velocity habitat, and 4) widening the channel at 4 areas to reduce stream velocities and to increase floodplain inundation. There will be approximately 1.65 acres of increased inundation during the 2-year flow event.

Project Benefit    


This project is expected to benefit salmonids by increasing the amount of spawning gravel, and will provide juvenile Coho Salmon with year-round rearing habitat.
