Document Description
The goal of the project is to improve ecological function through implementation of
instream and floodplain restoration treatments on the Scott River, a tributary to the
Klamath River, in Siskiyou County, California. The project site is located in the Scott
Valley and covers an approximately 4-mile-long contiguous stretch of the Scott River,
encompassing around 700 acres of the river channel and floodplain. Planned restoration treatments include side channel excavation, channel contouring, installation of instream large woody structures (e.g., engineered log jams), riparian planting, and other enhancements to improve instream and off-channel habitat, enhance floodplain connectivity, improve riparian health, establish drought resiliency, and reduce sediment and erosion affecting aquatic habitats as well as adjacent agricultural lands.
