DESCRIPTION
This project will complete restoration in the Phase 1 area of the Middle Nemah River which is the Priority Watershed for the Willapa Bay Lead Entity. The restoration will focus in a high priority area in the lower river, placing engineered log jams to improve habitat complexity and addressing an avulsion risk where the entire river would otherwise enter a series of gravel extraction ponds which would trigger a damaging head-cut and disconnect 1/3 mile of main channel. And the project will improve floodplain connection in the pond area where the avulsion risk is low and elsewhere within the reach by removing segments of an abandoned road.
