The Quinault Indian Nation used this funding for a study to provide Quinault River management agencies and landowners with information about the physical processes and human impacts to natural processes, and a prioritized project list for protection and restoration of salmon spawning and rearing habitats. This study built upon the Quinault Watershed Analysis (Quinault Indian Nation and USDA, Forest Service, Olympic National Forest, 1999). Results from this study provided information used to develop the Salmon Habitat Restoration Plan - Upper Quinault River (Quinault Indian Nation 2005) and to provide resource managers with information for fish habitat restoration, including recommendations for restoration of areas within the floodplain of the river. The Bureau of Reclamation completed a geomorphic reach analysis of 18 river kilometers of the Upper Quinault River above Lake Quinault to the confluence of the North Fork Quinault and the mainstem. The 165-page main report is supplemented with appendices covering: topographic data, hydraulic model, geology, radiocarbon dates, woody debris analysis (by Herrera Environmental Consultants), sediment analysis, historical aerial photography and maps, GIS mapping, historical channel migration zone discussion, hydrology, time-lapse cameras, Finley Creek Basin, expedition accounts related to Upper Quinault River Reference Setting, chronology of events in Upper Quinault Valley, geomorphic history of socikeye habitat side-channel sites.
