DESCRIPTION
This project abandoned a shallow cement pond, diverted the water into the natural channel, and established in-stream habitat improvements and native riparian buffers on Titus Creek. This essential fish habitat will be reconnected to Mill Creek in a later restoration project. This important stream reach is part of the Mill Creek MSA and has been identified by the PWPCC Sub-basin plan as having high potential for rearing for ESA listed summer steelhead and spring chinook. The pond heated water in this cold, spring-fed section of Titus Creek, a tributary to Mill Creek. Engineering work was done by Anderson Perry & Associates, Inc. An interdisciplinary team consisting of WDFW, Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation, USACE, SRSRB, and RCO were instrumental in the completion of this project.
