OpportunityTitle: South Fork Boise River Sediment Study
AdditionalInformationOnEligibility: This Agreement will be entered into under the provisions of the Pacific Northwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (PNW CESU) Agreement (Reclamation Agreement No. R11AC10001); therefore, Reclamation and U of I are subject to all terms and conditions contained within the PNW CESU Agreement, as well as project specific terms and conditions agreed to as outlined in this new Agreement.
Description: The University of Idaho (UI) will develop a process-based hydraulic and sediment transport model in order to study mobility of post-fire sediment delivered to the South Fork Boise River. Results from this study will help managers predict the fate and transportation of fine sediment to the South Fork Boise River. These results will also help to determine how operations of Anderson Ranch Dam may affect bull trout critical habitat and the bull trout prey base.
