Fluvial wanderings

Peshastin Creek - Ruby landslide

Things do not get much more constrained for a stream channel than having an active landslide on one side and a major DOT transportation corridor on the other...Hopefully a plan can be developed to allow more reliable fish passage to upper reaches of the Peshastin Creek.

In the meantime, we are left with having to deal with high sediment loads entering the creek and trying to help the DOT understand why putting a major transportation corridor within a floodplain and next to a river channel is not usually the best option.
