Decision Memo Completed

Timber Creek Fish Barrier Maintenance 2021

Ashley National Forest Duchesne, Utah Duchesne Ranger District

The Timber Creek fish migration barrier has become less effective as a result of accumulated debris. This project would use a track hoe to remove the downed tree and debris upstream of the barrier to re-establish the effectiveness of the barrier.

Location

The fish migration barrier is located on the South Unit of the Duchesne District on Timber Creek near the northern Forest boundary. (T. 1 S., R. 112 W.)
