This project includes the acquisition of two key parcels on the right bank that include the only bank armoring in this section of the river. One parcel contains residential structures (Parcel 1) and outbuildings while the other is undeveloped (Parcel 2). The project will create a preliminary design to remove the stone revetment located on Parcel 1 and maintain the attributes of Parcel 2 via a conservation easement. This assessment will investigate the impact to adjacent upstream and downstream parcels to determine if additional acquisition or conservation easements will need to be obtained in the next phase of the project (see landowner acknowledgement form attached).The Acquisition of the key developed parcels in this project area along with the removal of bank armoring, restoration of the streambank, and riparian vegetation reestablishment will protect and restore the river to access its historic floodplain and channel migration zone in this reach. These actions will allow for natural off-channel sediment deposition in the floodplain to occur which will reduce the amount of sediment carried to current Hood Canal summer chum spawning reaches downstream. This reach is also within an area where an upstream expansion of spawning could potentially occur.
