This restoration project occurred within the Sitkum River sub-watershed on the west side of the Olympic Peninsula (within Township T28N and Range R10W). The Sitkum is within the Calawah River watershed, which is part of the greater Quillayute River Basin that flows into the Pacific Ocean at La Push, WA. The goal of this project was to improve water quality and fish habitat in the Sitkum River by reducing sediment input and the threat of mass wasting events, which will benefit spawning and rearing habitat conditions for all salmonid species present in the Sitkum River throughout the year. The Sitkum River supports populations of summer and winter steelhead, spring and fall Chinook, coho, sockeye, cutthroat, mountain whitefish, and pacific lamprey. This project decommissioned 1.5 miles of Forest Service road, which included removal of 14 stream crossing culverts and 7 cross drain culverts, more than 2000 feet of the road outsloping, and the scarification, mulching, and seeding of the entire project length. Completion of this work has stabilized the stream crossings and unstable fill locations throughout the project area, preventing failures that would have initiated at plugged culverts and areas with poor drainage. Construction work was completed by Olympic Resources of Amanda Park and employed a crew of more than 4 people through 8 weeks. Revegetation was completed by a planting crew from Pacific Forest Management and donated time from 10,000 Years Institute and the Washington Conservation Corps. The 2012 Sitkum Restoration Action Plan identified “essential” work to be completed to move the sub-watershed into an improved condition. Nearly 20 miles of road decommissioning was identified in the Sitkum plan, and the 2900072 was the last remaining essential decommissioning project to be completed.
