This proposal represents the first phase of a multi-year project. Phase I includes assessment, monitoring and concept design. Phase II would follow with permitting, final design and implementation once the technical work is complete.

Problem Statement:

The mouth of Moffett Creek remains unstable. Sediment fills pools during low water periods and banks cut out during higher flows. In summer, the mouth becomes warm and stagnant which limits oxygen and creates conditions that discourage fish from entering. The channel has little complexity, and the floodplain does not engage as it should. These conditions reduce habitat quality and slow natural recovery processes.
