Document Description
This project will repair and install fish weirs in Dunn Creek to stabilize the channel, reduce sediment discharge, and improve fish passage in Dunn Creek. The work includes establishing an access road, dewatering the streambed, repairing weir 10, replacing weir 11, constructing a new weir (weir 12), constructing a key downstream of weir 12, and a rock apron downstream of the key to prevent erosion and reduce the need for continued maintenance. Additional work includes armoring of the channel between weirs with engineered streambed material, recontouring the access road, revegetating any disturbed areas, and applying temporary erosion control to meet water quality requirements.
