DESCRIPTION
Jefferson County Conservation District used this funding for phase 2 of a project to improve salmon habitat on Indian George Creek. Indian George Creek flows into Quilcene Bay 3/4 mi. south of the Big Quilcene River. In October of 1999 a crew funded by a DNR "Jobs for the Environment" grant rehabilitated the lower reach (460') of the creek, adding large wood, replacing a culvert, and reconnecting an estuary to tidal flow. That project was not fully completed before the "instream project window" ended in October 1999 and wet weather began. This funding completed the original project by adding additional large woody debris to the stream channel, constructing 3 additional log structures upstream to stabilize channel head-cutting, and completing final site grading. Targeted species were coho, steelhead, chum and cutthroat. There was a small spawning population of coho, steelhead, chum and cutthroat that utilized the creek and there is juvenile rearing and feeding habitat in the lower reach due to the estuary at the downstream end of project. This phase 2 project was completed in summer of 2000. During project implementation, upstream landslides filled in the large wood placements and required additional work. This additional work, completed without a cost increase included returning the stream channel to the 1999 location with additional meander length, removing deposition in slough inlet to the MHHW level, re-excavating pools filled by debris, and adding additional large wood.
