Desolation Meadows TA
Project Overview
Basics
Desolation Meadows TA
Planning/Design
Desolation Meadows (DM) Restoration Project will take place in a high priority salmon and steelhead stream. The restoration effort will occur on the North Fork of Desolation Creek, in the North Fork John Day Sub-watershed - Umatilla National Forest. The overall project goal is to achieve proper ecological form and function of DM and its floodplain and meadow habitats, thereby improving spawning and rearing habitat for several listed fish populations, and ecosystem function for other aquatic and terrestrial species. TU in partnership with the CTWS, and the UNF will plan, design, and implement the project. In addition CTUIR, ODFW, and the BOR will serve on the project's technical team.

Focal Species
Focal Species
See the focal species upload in the documents section. Due to the importance of spawning and rearing in Desolation Meadows and immediately downstream, this is a critical place within the John Day watershed for habitat enhancement and resiliency.

Implementation and Ecological Results
Implementation and Ecological Results
The project team will use a Stage-0 Hybrid Approach to design a restoration approach that addresses the primary habitat limiting factors. Restoration treatments will include:
- channel fill techniques to aggrade the channel to its floodplain , encourage multi-threaded channel network at all flows, and treat head cutting (1-2 mi)
- placement of LWD structures, BDAs, and loose floodplain wood.
-channel design in select places (0.5 mi)
-remove 1 mi of road
-reestablish woody vegetation to increase wetland vegetation
These actions will alter the hydrology to restore habitat for native fish.
