| Summary: | A study of how the Susitna-Watana Hydroelectric Project would affect flow and sediment transport, and fish habitat, in the Susitna River. Construction and operation of the Project will likely affect flow, surface water elevation, sediment load and transport, and water depth in the mainstem channel, side channels, sloughs, and off-channel habitat features both upstream and downstream of the Watana Dam site. The goal of this study is to evaluate the potential effects of Project-induced changes in flow and water surface elevation on free access of fish into, within, and out of suitable habitats in the upper Susitna River (inundation zone above the Watana Dam site) and the middle Susitna River (Watana Dam site to the confluence of Chulitna and Talkeetna rivers). |
