Technical Assistance
The BLM has recently allocated approximately $375,000 for restoration work in the Thirtymile Watershed. This project proposes to develop restoration designs for Thirtymile Creek from RM 0 to RM 10 on BLM lands. The designs will focus on restoration actions identified in the Atlas Prioritization process and consist of engineered and process-based concepts.
