Blog: Accelerated restoration project begins on Big Chico Creek
In April 2023, the permitting and design phase began at Big Chico Creek, or Ótakim Séwi, for the Iron Canyon Fish Passage Project which will create a path for anadromous and other migratory native fish to travel beyond Iron Canyon to Big Chico Creek Ecological Reserve and into critical cold-water habitats. The project team will approach project permitting and design simultaneously as we work towards construction in 2025. What happens during this phase? Before project construction can begin, the project team must obtain necessary permits to meet relevant state and federal regulations.
