Description    


The Satus Dam was completely removed. It no longer poses a fish passage problem. A roughned channel was used to stabilize the channel and the banks was stabilized with large rock and LWD. Revegetation was done to stabilize the banks and disturbed channel.

Project Benefit    


The project will improve downstream migration of steelhead trout and allow upstream movement of juvenile steelhead trout so they can access more desirable summer rearing habitat. The project will result in the increase in abundance of viable steelhead spawning redds in the reaches above the dam. The project will eliminate the delay of adult steelhead trout below the dam that are currently vulnerable to predation and poaching. The project will ultimately result in more steelhead spawning redds in the reaches above the dam, and an increase in the abundance and productivity of the Satus Creek steelhead population.
