RDG is working with Oregon Trout and a technical team comprised of local experts and stakeholders to develop a restoration design for the Middle Fork John Day River.
|  | Oregon Trout retained RDG to perform an assessment and restoration plan for three miles of the Middle Fork John Day River. The proposed project includes property managed by the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) – Malheur National Forest, and RPB Ranch, a private property. RDG integrated GPS data into a LiDAR/bathymetry data set characterizing the project area. Existing and proposed condition hydraulic models were developed from the data set. Design components include reactivating abandoned meanders, enhancing juvenile Chinook salmon and steelhead habitat in the main channel and off-channel areas, and augmenting the riparian zone. Project construction will commence in 2009.
