Title: Iron Canyon Fish Passage Project
Description: The purpose of the Iron Canyon Fish Passage Project is to modify a fish passage barrier in the form of large boulders and high vertical drop to allow two federally listed salmonid species (spring-run Chinook salmon and steelhead trout) and other native fish species access to optimal habitat upstream. This will be accomplished by removing and modifying the current existing instream configuration of boulders and minor regrading of the stream channel. In addition, 17 dilapidated concrete and rebar fish ladder weirs ·that were constructed in 1956 will be removed from the stream channel. The anticipated modifications should reduce channel velocity and vertical drops while increasing existing pools and creating some new pools. The result will allow for successful fish passage at a range of flow regimes. Minor modifications of approximately 2.5 miles of Park Road will be necessary for equipment access. See attached for full project description.
