Description
This grant funds a comprehensive planning study to evaluate, design, and cost‑estimate the repair of 33 high‑mountain reservoirs in Siskiyou County so they can release cold water to improve salmonid habitat in the Scott River during low‑flow months.

Deliverables include a technical report, maps, data sets, and recommendations for legislative or permitting actions. The project is fully funded by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service at $150,000 and aligns with federal wildlife conservation goals.
