<div dir="ltr"><p class="MsoNormal">Dear Trinity River followers- Below is an update on our construction project and the expected release of fine sediment from the site during high flows during next week's flows. </p><p class="MsoNormal"><br></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><br></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b>Deep Gulch –and
Sheridan Creek Project update: <span></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><br></p><p class="MsoNormal">The Trinity River Restoration Program has been working to construct
the Deep Gulch and Sheridan Creek Channel Rehabilitation Project this summer. The
Hoopa Valley and Yurok Tribal Team is working to complete in-channel work by
September 15. Details concerning the Project may be found in the project
description (Chapter 2) of the Deep Gulch and Sheridan Creek Project environmental
assessment / initial study (EA/IS) located at: <a href="http://www.trrp.net/library/document/?id=2318">http://www.trrp.net/library/document/?id=2318</a>
<span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This is a large river restoration project, with an objective
of creating diverse and functioning river conditions/habitat – for salmon and
steelhead. Construction includes substantial in-river work and has been
progressing well. More than 50% of the in-river work and wood structures are
completed. <span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Due to the amount of in-river work required and the short
in-river work window (July 15 to September 15), it has been challenging to control
turbidity within permit levels. To date, the Tribal Team has generally done this. They
have constructed the project with one substantial release of turbidity (dirty
water) during work on August 7<sup>th</sup>. Otherwise, work has proceeded within permit
limits. <span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Today (August 18), the tribal construction team is clearing
the turbidity controls (e.g., barriers that isolate equipment from the river
during excavation) to allow high flows to wash over the site in a safe and
unrestricted fashion. Trinity River flows will increase from Lewiston dam (starting
this Sunday) from 450 cubic feet per second (cfs) to a peak of 2650 cfs on
Monday August 21 at about 10 am (See Boat Dance Ceremony Flow Schedule – below).
These flows will reach the Deep Gulch and Sheridan Creek Project site 6 to 8
hours after they leave the dam and will wash over newly exposed soils. There
will be a substantial amount of dirt washed from the site as much of the area will be underwater for several days. Water clarity in the Trinity River downstream of
Junction City will be decreased until base flows are reached following the
ceremonial releases. </p><p class="MsoNormal"><br></p><p class="MsoNormal">After the flows have diminished, in-river construction of the Project will continue with the objective to finish in-river work by September 15,
2017. <span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br></p>
