Habitat MonitoringHabitat Monitoring

• Pre-project and post (?) habitat evaluation – upstream, downstream

• TFW ambient monitoring protocol – 5 km

• Benthic Index of Biotic Integrity • Spawner surveys

O&M AgreementO&M Agreement

• Duration: for life of project – 100 years• Annual and post-flood inspections and surveys

– fish passage– Habitat features

• Repair as necessary• $7500 / year funded by Simpson Timber Company
