Description Bed elevation, feature adjustments, and spawning use were monitored at three Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tschawytscha) spawning habitat rehabilitation sites to measure project longevity in a regulated river. Sites enhanced with 649–1323 m3 of gravel lost from 3–20% of remaining gravel volume annually during controlled flows of 8–70 m3/s and 2.6–4.6% of placed material during a short-duration (19 days) release of 57 m3/s. The oldest site lost ∼50% of enhancement volume over 4 years. Of the...
