Haskins Creek (1993)

Over 800 feet of eroded stream bed on Haskins Creek, which flows into Buck's Lake Reservoir, was stabilized by installing rock step pools and biotechnical revegetation. Major head cuts had worked up the creek from a bridge under the Oroville-Quincy Highway 30 years ago after a storm damaged bridge was replaced. The head cuts threatened a two mile long wet meadow and prevented spawning fish access from Bucks Lake Reservoir. After the project was constructed, brown trout and Kokanee salmon began migrating upstream on their fall spawning runs for the first time in 30 years.
