Document Description
The Project will improve fish habitat by placing gravel and other desirable materials into the Clear Creek stream channel with the intent of restoring sediment transport processes, such as coarse bedload transport. The Project will utilize a riffle supplementation style augmentation, which immediately produces salmonid spawning and rearing habitat. Up to 1,500 tons of clean, size-sorted natural river gravel, several boulders, and several pieces of large wood will be place into the creek channel for the purpose of riffle augmentation.
