Impaired Upstream Passage
Small Dams and Diversions
The project will remove a concrete weir and walls from Johnson Creek channel and add large wood jams throughout the reach to improve channel function and increase habitat complexity. Removal of floodplain structures and the associated road and bridge will enable restoration of floodplain connectivity. Plantings will occur throughout the site following construction.
Project work will be on land owned by Metro and managed for WQ, Wildlife habitat and access to nature.
