Lower Mill Creek Habitat and Passage Assessment and Strategic Action Plan

The Lower Mill Creek Assessment and Strategic Action Plan were developed to compile existing data and limiting factors for Mill Creek and to create a broad-based approach for determining long-term management scenarios for the future of Mill Creek.

The purpose of the Assessment is to consolidate all of the existing data, reports, and input from agencies, organizations, and other stakeholders, and to identify historic and existing conditions, current problems and opportunities, and possible future conditions of the lower portions of the Mill Creek drainage, into one resource document. The results of the Assessment will be used to develop a Strategic Action Plan that can serve as a broad-based common vision for the future of the lower portions of the Mill Creek drainage. The CTUIR is undertaking the Assessment to assess existing conditions in the Mill Creek watershed and to use that information to propose actions for improving conditions for fish while maintaining or improving flood control.
