Reason for change in scope
The addition of sediment abatement for the Fisher Placer Mine site was not previously planned, but with the development of the Meadow Creek Watershed Assessment, this project has been identified as a priority. This project will help to decrease the sediment delivery to the stream, which will help to improve spawning areas. This objective is still within the overall goals of the project.
