DESCRIPTION

Description

Modify the salt water barrier or change operation of the barrier while increasing the number of large lockages to introduce cool marine waters above the locks and create a longer estuary environment.

Opportunities, Constraints, and other Considerations

A false lockage study was conducted in 2015 and found minimal upstream benefits while posing some other water quality issues. Other options may be available.
