This request for additional support was directed to the combined sponsorship of the Army Corp of Engineers General Investigation of the Skokomish River. Both the Skokomish Indian Tribe and Mason County had a cost-share agreeement to contribute resources totaling the committment from federal resources for an ongoing investigation that has ultimate benefits to the Puget Sound basin from its sub-basin of the Skokomish River. Due to anticipated flow regime changes from the FERC Project #460, Tacoma's Cushman Hydroelectric Project, along with certain basin innovations in ownership, technologies and restoration opportunities, such watershed benefits will effect the Hood Canal drainage, a glacially-carved fjord of Puget Sound. This project helps support overall Puget Sound Partnership goals and objectives. This effort has developed restoration project concepts, some of which shall be carried out by the USACE in partnership with Mason County and the Skokomish Tribe. The majority of these project concepts shall be developed and implemented by existing restoration agencies (including the Skokomish Tribe, Mason Conservation District, and partner agencies of the Skokomish Watershed Action Team (SWAT)).
