Cottonwood Creek Sediment Budget

archived

Funding is available through the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Anadromous Fish Restoration Program (AFRP) to develop a sediment budget for Cottonwood Creek based upon geomorphological data from 1939 to present; quantify spatial and temporal characteristics of sediment supply, storage, and transport in the system; and to identify the effects of sediment transport dynamics on perceived channel and watershed changes. The project will include the collection of needed additional data; and synthesis of current and collected data needed to complete the sediment budget. No substantial involvement on the part of the Service is anticipated for the successful completion of the objective to be funded. It is anticipated that the Service's involvement will consist of standard Federal stewardship responsibilities, such as monitoring project performance, technical assistance at the request of the recipeient, etc.
