Project Info
- Title
- Little Butano Creek Fish Passage and Habitat Enhancement Project
- Description
- The project will remediate two fish passage barriers and improve stream and wetland habitat on Little Butano Creek in the Pescadero-Butano Watershed. The downstream of the two barriers is a bedrock chute created by historic land-use and resulting anthropomorphically induced channel straightening and incision. The upstream barrier is created by a series of concrete steps and accumulated sediment associated with a culvert on Cloverdale Road. The project builds on decades of watershed investments to restore access for salmonids to the project site, restore floodplains and lagoons, and improve flows. In addition to restoring access to 2.7 miles of cold-water stream up to the final remaining barrier in Butano State Park, this project also improves 3.1 acres of habitat through installation of large woody debris structures, creation of low flow pools, floodplains, a new stream meander, and habitat enhancements at two confluence zones.
