NotesIn August 2015, 39 pieces of large woody debris were added to three reaches in the Mill Creek drainage in the Siletz River basin in order to improve fish habitat. In this paper, the authors examine winter habitat for salmonids. They discuss using a calibrated flow model “to quantify the change in survivable habitat for juvenile coho salmon after the addition of [large woody debris] by examining changes in water velocity and substrate stability during a bankfull event in three gravel-bed reaches” (p.842) Schematic diagrams of the selected reaches are included.
