DESCRIPTION
Asotin Creek is identified as priority restoration reach land a major spawning population for wild steelhead. Limiting factors in Asotin Creek include elevated summer temperatures, fine sediment, channel confinement, and low habitat complexity. Lower reaches of Asotin Creek currently have very little large woody and few pools. Historically the riparian areas had been logged for the purpose of removing and log jams, resulting in the loss of salmon habitat. T create his project will focus on increasing habitat complexity using methods of large wood and rock combinations to form logjams. Logjams will be place to form pools and interstitial spaces for rearing and wintering habitat. This project may be conducted or combined with the Headgate Dam Fish Passage Project to place structures too agrade Asotin Creek below the divesion and back water the barrier.
