The Quinault Indian Nation requests $136,000 in SRFB grant funding to 1) conduct an aquatic habitat assessment, 2) conduct a riparian plant community survey, and 3) develop an integrated LWD design and riparian vegetation rehabilitation site plan for four streams in the Prairie Creek sub-watershed. The project goals are to restore large woody debris (LWD) and stream habitat functions in the short term (1-5 years) and the adjacent riparian and in-stream ecosystem in the long term (10-80 years). The project area encompasses approximately 480 acres of riparian habitat and about 8 miles of aquatic (stream) habitat on the Quinault Indian Reservation (Figure 1). The project would be completed over a period of 2 years beginning in 2016. The project team would consist of experienced stream and riparian forest restoration contractors with technical review and support from select QDNR staff. The grant funds would be supplemented by $24,000 in matching funds provided by the Quinault Indian Nation. The SRFB grant would provide the funding necessary for QIN to assess existing aquatic and riparian habitat conditions and design its first integrated stream and riparian habitat rehabilitation project on the Quinault Indian Reservation. The proposed project would collect the information necessary to assess, characterize and document baseline (existing) conditions of aquatic habitats, channel features and riparian plant communities in the Prairie Creek sub-watershed.
