Project Overview

Basics

Restoration of Aquatic Native Fish Habitat
Sniption-Thirtymile Creek

Planning/Design
The project is located on Thirtymile Creek approximately miles from the 9 miles mouth. Thirtymile is a tributary to the John Day River and the John Day River drains into the Columbia River. It is approximately 8.5 miles southwest of Condon in Gilliam County. The major watershed issue for this reach is intermittent flow during the summer months. The reaches upstream and downstream have perennial flow and this project aims to extend those wetted reaches. This project will use various floodplain connection actions to create pool habitat and extend perennial flow. Once perennial flow is established riparian plantings will begin. The reach is currently protected by riparian fence.
