Document Description
The Project is limited to the addition of large wood, boulders, and gravel to Lagunitas Creek. Approximately 156
pieces of large wood will be added as part of a series of Riffle-Pool-Wood structures at 8 separate sites along the
creek, with each site ranging from 190 to 640 feet in length, and will be installed in a configuration that increases
trapping, sorting, and storage of gravel. Additionally, across the 8 sites a total of 5900 tons of gravel will be added
into creek, suitable in size for Coho salmon and steelhead spawning, and will address a bedload deficit caused by
upstream impoundments.
