Title: | Trinity River Channel Rehabilitation Site: Deep Gulch and Sheridan Creek (River Mile 81.6 ? 82.9) |
---|---|
Summary: | The Trinity River Restoration Program (TRRP), including the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation and the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (federal co-lead agencies), and the North Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board (Regional Water Board - state lead agency) propose to construct the 2017 Trinity River Channel Rehabilitation Project at the Deep Gulch and Sheridan Creek site. The Project purpose is to increase salmon and steelhead habitat downstream of Lewiston Dam, as described in the December 19, 2000, Record of Decision for the Trinity River Mainstem Fishery Restoration Environmental Impact Statement. The proposed project is designed to enhance both terrestrial and aquatic habitat quality. In-river work will increase habitat complexity via construction of slow water refuge habitats (e.g., side channels), reconnection of the floodplain with the river, and placement of in-river geomorphic and habitat features (e.g., rock and wood structures). On-shore work will include revegetation of riverine and upland areas with native vegetation. |
