Watershed Restoration Program
Restore Priority Meadows, Wetlands, and Lake Tahoe Tributaries
Between 2003 and 2006, the U.S. Forest Service removed a large concrete fish ladder and replaced a large culvert with a bridge, including reconstruction of adjacent stream channels at both sites. These features were replaced with a series of constructed boulder step pools to maintain a stable stream profile, while restoring function in terms of coarse bed load sediment transport and fish passage. https://www.fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_DOCUMENTS/fseprd498677.pdf
