BLM OR-WA Stream and Riparian Restoration, Burns District: Historic management practices have contributed to degraded stream channel and riparian conditions throughout Eastern Oregon. Channel incision, over widened channels, sedimentation, bank instability, head-cuts, channel avulsion, altered channels, loss of fish habitat and fish habitat barriers are conditions that need to be addressed in order to restore fish habitat and water quality. Public and Private land managers have been, and continue to be, working to address restoration of stream systems, both passive and active, in Eastern Oregon.

The objective of this agreement is to restore degraded stream systems in Eastern Oregon. Anticipated projects will include, but not be limited to, restoring stream channels and riparian zones to recover fish populations, enhance water quality, improve in-stream aquatic habitat, improve fish passage and stabilize stream banks through active restoration of impaired streams in the Upper Malheur, Harney-Malheur Lakes and Donner und Blitzen watersheds.
