BACKGROUND: 

Wood nourishment:   The Corps has augmented spawning gravels in the Green River since 2003 and large wood since 2004 as part of the operation and maintenance of Howard Hanson Dam.  Additional wood nourishment is planned for the foreseeable future due to requirements outlined in Endangered Species Act consultation with NMFS.  The effects of these projects have periodically been monitored over this timeframe.  Large wood distribution has been inventoried annually since 2007 and additional habitat monitoring has occurred once every five years.  These monitoring activities will be repeated staring in 2026 through 2030 using the previously used protocols.

The objective of this project is to evaluate the effectiveness of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) wood and gravel nourishment projects downstream of Howard Hanson Dam. Specifically, the monitoring work would be to collect data to inventory large wood debris in the Green River with a focus on tagged wood placed into the river by the Corps.
