Description    


The lower Peshastin restoration project seeks to address the most important limiting factors (coarse substrate, cover -wood, floodplain connectivity, off channel and side channels, pool quantity and quality, riparian canopy cover) by: increasing mainstem channel length by 200, increasing channel sinuosity by 15%, lowering gradient, increasing side channel length by 1,200, increasing channel width (Q2) by approximately 100, increasing floodplain wetted area (Q2) by 2 acres, increasing deep pools from 0 to >3, planting 2.5 acres of riparian vegetation, lessening mean substrate size, and increasing key pieces of wood from 0 to 28. These actions will benefit multiple life stages for spring Chinook and steelhead including adult migration and holding, spawning, fry colonization, and summer and winter rearing.

Project Benefit    


The primary goal of this project is to improve habitat quality and quantity for natal and non-natal juvenile and adult salmonids and to emulate natural processes in lower Peshastin
Creek.
