Lower Satus Creek, in the Yakama Reservation has suffered riparian degradation
over the last 70 years. Managers believe that the causes are past water diversion
in the growing season, overgrazing by cattle and horses, and unnaturally high fire
frequency caused by the proximity of Highway 97. This project aims to restore 15
acres of riparian trees and shrubs along lower Satus Creek. Actions will include
site preparation and weed suppression, hand and machine planting of riparian
shrubs and trees, seeding of grass, fencing installation to protect plantings from
grazing, installation of low-tech wood structures such as BDAs and PALS to
increase site water levels, installation of larger engineered logjams if necessary to
achieve hydraulic goals, and monitoring for adaptive management. The goal is to
restore channel and floodplain habitat for ESA listed middle Columbia Steelhead.
