Short Description

The Washington State Department of Ecology conducted an instream flow study in the Tucannon River using the Instream Flow Incremental Methodology. The study provides information about the relationship between streamflows and fish habitat which can be used in developing minimum instream flow requirements for fish in the Tucannon River. The study site was located at River Mile 5.8 on the Tucannon River, approximately 500 feet upstream of Starbuck Dam. Eight transects were chosen to represent the lower fifteen miles of the Tucannon River. Water depths, velocities, substrate and cover information were recorded along the transects at high, medium and low flows.
