Scope Of Work
Site 11 was primarily impaired due to the presence of a low head dam. We completely removed the dam and installed grade controls.
Due to the natural bedrock character of the stream, we constructed a series of boulder steps and pools. The steps help to maintain grade and were constructed to make up the elevation difference from upstream to downstream in small increments.
We constructed the drop at each step to allow all fish to pass safely and easily. The pools we constructed between each step help to dissipate energy and offer a refuge for fish to rest.
