This project restored from RM 1.7 to RM 2.2 on Snow Creek. ESA-listed Hood Canal Summer Chum spawn here, with the majority of the depleted population spawning below this reach. This reach was deeply incised and contributing over 890CY/year of fine sediments to the creek from its continually eroding banks to the detriment of area and downstream redds. The reach had very low wood volumes, poor channel complexity and disconnected floodplains. The project elevated the stream bed through the use of wood structures filled with imported streambed gravels and also lowered/connected the adjacent floodplain and created side channels through excavation. Cleared trees and imported wood were installed into extensive logjams in the channel to slow flows, provide habitat, and sort and aggrade Snow Creek’s abundant sediment load. Reconnected floodplains and the surrounding forest have been planted with 9,000 trees and the site has been maintained by NOSC’s WCC crew to prevent colonization of the area by invasive weeds. The project installed 39 log jams plus 79 large trees from onsite, created .23 miles of sidechannels, built 1.4 acres of inset floodplain across .5 miles of lower Snow Creek. The project was constructed on time and within the grant budget.
