Dewatering/Diversion

In those specific cases where it is deemed necessary to work in flowing water, the work area shall be isolated and all flowing water shall be temporarily diverted around the work site to maintain downstream flows and both upstream and downstream fish passage during construction. The length of the dewatered stream channel and duration of dewatering, shall be minimized to the greatest extent practicable.
