The cities of Aberdeen & Hoquiam have completed a flood risk master plan (“Timberworks”) that has identified multiple conceptual restoration alternatives for sub-areas between Aberdeen & Hoquiam, including for the Fry Creek Restoration & Flood Reduction project. Fry Creek is a salmon-bearing stream – in places the boundary between the two cities – that primarily provides refugia to Coho and Chum. In order to reduce flood risk and expand public use and enjoyment of this area, the cities have selected a design alternative to increase the creek’s flood storage and conveyance by reconnecting it to its floodplain as well as to replace antiquated infrastructure (e.g., pumps) that not only do not adequately convey floodwaters, but also result in salmonid mortality. The purpose of this effort is to address chronic flooding impacting the community while also improving fish and wildlife habitat & provide public open space. The conceptual restoration alternatives identified by this plan and supported by the community include the construction of the North Shore Levee, the restoration of Fry Creek, and the upgrade of its outfall pumps. Thus, the proposal outlined in this application is to complete a project design and construction of a modern pump station where Fry Creek intersects with the levee alignment, as well as a replacement of the culvert beneath Port Industrial Rd. The project design will include fish screen technology to ensure juvenile salmonids do not get drawn into the pumps and killed during flood events.
