BPA Instream Habitat Projects Completed within Asotin Creek Watershed. 1999-2001 Asotin Creek Instream Final Report of Accomplishments.

摘要

The Asotin County Conservation District (ACCD) is the primary entity coordinating habitat projects on both private and public lands within the Asotin Creek watershed. The watershed covers approximately 325 square miles in the Blue Mountains of southeastern Washington in Water Resource Inventory Area (WRIA) 35. The ACCD has been working with landowners and numerous organizations to address habitat projects in Asotin County. ACCD began coordinating habitat projects in 1995 with the help of BPA funding. Approximately two hundred and seventy-six projects have been implemented as of 1999. The Asotin Creek In-Stream Habitat Project teamed BPA and Governor's Salmon Recovery Funding on four instream habitat projects in the Asotin Creek Watershed. These projects provide complex instream habitat for steelhead, bull trout and spring chinook in the stream. 38 pools were created as a result of these instream projects with 860 ft of LWD utilized for habitat.
