Abstract
Announces decision to authorize the implementation of the Proposed Action. The purpose of this project is restoration of spawning and rearing habitat in North Fork Big Tom Folley Creek, Big Tom Folley Creek, and Susan Creek for resident and anadromous salmonids, through the enhancement of existing habitat and creation of additional habitat. This would be accomplished by the addition of large wood and boulder structures to the stream channel. These structures would increase deposition and scour adjacent to the structures, allowing for the formation of deep pools, increased areas of spawning gravels, increased channel complexity, cover, and off channel habitat. This habitat would provide juvenile fish with slow-water rearing areas and deep, residual pool habitat during low flow periods.
