Document Description
The Los Angeles River Ecosystem and Recreation (LARERR) Reach 8A Project (Project) is intended as a first stepin creating steelhead fish passage as a migration corridor to the upper tributaries of the LA River Watershed spawning grounds. The Project would contribute to upstream steelhead passage through construction of a fish passage and habitat structures including an inset channel adjacent to the existing low-flow channel, anchored boulders on the existing low-flow channel, resting pockets for velocity and depth refuge, and vegetation features. While focused on providing fish passage and habitat structures to address limiting factors to steelhead trout and other native fish, the Project also addresses watershed-wide data gaps and opportunities to promote future projects and address other limiting factors to steelhead recovery from coast to crest.
