The purpose of this project is to create and enhance habitats suitable to rountail chub by incorporating specific engineered plans that include narrowing the active channel, deepening existing pools, creating new pools and comples habitat structures using large boulders and root wads, and improving side-channel and backwater function. The Jicarilla Apache Nation, through Service-Tribal Landowner Incentive Project grant, restored an approximate one-half mile reach of the Navajo River in 2009. The goal of this project is to complete 2 miles of habitat work on the Navajo River.
