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 5,000 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 5,000 tons of gravel add to the 20,000 tons placed in April of 2022.
