| Summary: | Construction and operation of the Susitna-Watana Hydroelectric Project has the potential to alter aquatic habitats in the mainstem channel at tributary confluences as well as at the inlets and outlets to side channels, sloughs, and various off-channel habitat features both in the area of the inundation upstream from the Watana Dam site and downstream in the potential zone of project hydrologic influence. The goal of this study is to characterize habitats that will be altered and/or lost or gained from filling of the reservoir, hydropower operations, and associated changes in flow, water surface elevation, sediment regimes, and temperatures. The study area encompasses the entire Susitna River from the confluence with the Oshetna River to the area of tidal influence around River Mile 28. |
