SALMON RIVER FLOODPLAINS

• Valley confinement
• Predominantly bedrock vs alluvial channel boundaries
• Extent of mining disturbance and existing infrastructure
• Channel gradient and confinement
• Alluvial channel features
• Floodplain Inundation
• Existing riparian vegetation
• Summer mainstem thermal suitability
• Proximity to major tributaries and other cold water refugia
• Existing spawning and rearing habitat
• Priorities identified by Salmon River Collaborative In-stream
