Description
The goal of this project (#9801700) is the eventual elimination of gravel push-up dams on the lower North Fork John Day. Elimination of push-up dams will remove impediments to anadromous (Spring Chinook, Summer Steelhead) fish migration, improve water quality and habitat for both anadromous and resident fish, reduce sediment load from construction and washouts, and reduce surface area of pools during annual periods of highest temperatures and solar radiation. Installation of permanent pumping stations and infiltration galleries have been successful on both a scientific and aesthetic level. Water quality will be monitored continuously throughout each phase of the project with turbidity and temperature as the primary criteria. Monitoring of water quality will continue indefinitely. Monitoring efforts are coordinated with Bureau of Land Management, Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife, and The Confederated Tribes of the Warm Springs John Day Basin Office.
