This project builds on previous efforts to remove one dam and install a fish passage structure at another upstream dam. Once installed, the new...
THE PROJECT WILL OCCUR IN MIDDLE CREEK WITHIN THE UPPER-KLAMATH BASIN, APPROXIMATELY 2.3 MILES NORTHWEST OF HORSE CREEK, CA. MIDDLE CREEK HOSTS SPAWNING COHO SALMON AND CONSISTENTLY PROVIDES SOME OF THE HIGHEST DENSITY OF COHO SPAWNING OF ANY TRIBUTARY WITHIN THE MID-KLAMATH BASIN. DESPITE MIDDLE CREEKS HIGH DENSITY OF SPAWNING, EXISTING CREEK CHANNEL AND FLOODPLAIN CONDITIONS PROVIDE LITTLE REARING HABITAT FOR JUVENILE COHO SALMON.THE PURPOSE OF THE PROJECT IS TO SUPPORT COHO SALMON POPULATION AND HEALTH IN THE MID-KLAMATH BY RESTORING COHO SALMON REARING HABITATS AND ENHANCE SPAWNING HABITAT IN MIDDLE CREEK THROUGH RESTORING CHANNEL FORM AND FUNCTION AND INCREASING FLOODPLAIN CONNECTIVITY. TO ACHIEVE THESE GOALS THE PROJECT WILL EXCAVATE AN OFF-CHANNEL POND, CONSTRUCT IN-STREAM WOOD THROUGH A 1,350-FOOT REACH OF MIDDLE CREEK. THE OFF-CHANNEL POND WILL PROVIDE NO-VELOCITY SUMMER AND WINTER JUVENILE REARING HABITAT. THE WOOD STRUCTURES AND CHANNEL SPANNING LOGS WILL PROVIDE HABITAT COMPLEXITY BY INCREASING THE FREQUENCY OF POOLS AND OVERHEAD COVER, CREATING POCKETS OF SLOW WATER REARING HABITAT, AND STORING AND SORTING GRAVELS SUITABLE FOR SPAWNING. FOLLOWING CONSTRUCTION OF THE OFF-CHANNEL POND AND WOOD STRUCTURES, APPROXIMATELY 1,000 FEET OF FENCE WILL BE ERECTED AROUND THE PROJECT SITE TO EXCLUDE FREE-RANGING CATTLE AND ALLOW FOR THE PASSIVE RESTORATION OF RIPARIAN HABITAT. THIS PROJECT WILL ACHIEVE DOI PROPOSED STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE 3.4: SPECIES AND NATURAL RESOURCES ARE PROTECTED BY SUPPORTING SPECIES POPULATION AND HEALTH.
