Project Goals and Objectives

The overarching goal for the Wassuk Mountains Stream Restoration Project is to slow channel incision, encourage aggradation and channel widening, and eventually improve floodplain connectivity, hydrologic function and overall ecosystem resilience to drought, fires and floods.

Structure Construction Elements

Log jams were installed in a continuous fashion for approximately 0.75 stream miles by limbing live trees, strategic feeling of dead aspen, and incorporating large, downed logs from the stream corridor. In reaches with less available material, individual post-less PALS were built to promote objectives such as aggradation and channel widening.
