The Trabuco District Dam Removal Project is an initiative of the Cleveland National Forest to remove over 80 dams on four streams. The "fish check dams" were originally built to create pools for a stocked rainbow trout fishery and to store water for conservation and fire suppression. The removals are intended to improve passage of fish and other aquatic species.
