Oregon Trout, Stream and Wetland Restoration – Chiloquin, Oregon

Mr. Gorman provided engineering oversight for the design of the Wood River Channel and Wetland Restoration project to restore the lower 0.75-mile reach of the Wood River and associated wetlands in Klamath County.  Project objectives included restoration of fluvial geomorphic features typical of the Wood River near its mouth, enhancement of fish passage and habitat for wild redband trout, creation of rearing and refugia habitat for the endangered Lost River and shortnose suckers, and enhancement of riparian and wetland habitat for other wildlife species, including the bald eagle and the peregrine falcon.  He participated in conceptual design and served as the engineer responsible for the technical review and engineering oversight.
