Document Description
Install a resistance board weir spanning approximately 120 ft to the streambed of the Tuolumne River. The intended purpose of the Tuolumne Segregation Weir is to physically separate the current population of Tuolumne spring-run from the fall-run anticipated to begin their migration in mid to late September. The segregation weir would be installed in early to mid-October and remain in place until December 31 in anticipation of peak fall-run Chinook migration timing. The substrate rail will remain in place year round, with all other components removed and reinstalled annually.
