Scott River Tailings Projects
The Scott River Tailings reach was mined by a Yuba Dredge from the late 1930’s through the early 1950’s creating a significantly impaired stream channel with limited floodplain connectivity, riparian vegetation and channel complexity. The Tailings reach becomes disconnected for long periods of time and offers limited rearing habitat for juvenile salmonids and is a potential year-round impediment to the migration of adult and juvenile coho salmon.
SRWC has several projects within this important reach including two design projects and one implementation project.
