Keswick Gravel Injection

Continuing efforts to provide spawning habitat improvements for the endangered Winter-run Chinook salmon, the Sacramento River Settlement Contractors and the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation placed 20,000 tons of spawning gravel at the Keswick Dam Gravel Injection site. The spawning habitat has been reduced over time in this section of the river due to water flows pushing the gravel downstream. The 45,000+ tons placed has been placed in the river since April of 2022.
