HEALTHY ECOSYSTEMS, HABITATS AND SPECIES
Conserve and Restore Salmonid Habitats and Ecosystems
This project will use Best Management Practices (BMPs) to treat sediment source sites on roads. BMPs include road decommissioning and storm proofing. Implementation of the project will prevent sediment from entering waterways in the Lower Rock Pile Basin. Benefits include improved water quality and enhanced salmonid habitat.
