Document Description
The primary purpose of the Project is to remediate an existing water diversion weir which creates a barrier to adult and juvenile anadromous salmonid migration - coho salmon (Onchorhynchus kisutch) and steelhead trout (Onchorhynchus mykiss) - in Yellowjacket Creek. By constructing a series of boulder step-pools, the Project will seek to reconnect access to 1.9 miles of spawning and spring-fed, cold water rearing habitat upstream.
