This project aims to complete a conceptual design for the large scale and comprehensive restoration of Little Quilcene River's estuarine delta. The conceptual design will culminate in the creation of 3 design alternatives. The proposed restoration project will build on previous restoration actions within the Little Quilcene Estuary and aim to restore large amounts of estuarine and freshwater habitat. These restoration actions would provide numerous benefits for adult and juvenile Hood Canal Summer Chum and Puget Sound Steelhead as well as migrating juvenile Puget Sound Chinook. All three of these species are currently ESA listed. The project will also aim to address existing fish passage issues that have been documented to prevent upstream migration for adult Hood Canal Summer Chum past river mile 0.2.Elements that will be considered in the development of the conceptual design include: -Removal of 2,900 feet of the existing south levee-Construction of a new sinuous channel for the Little Quilcene River that meanders through its historic floodplain and estuary into Quilcene Bay. Configuration of the channel will be designed appropriately for the geomorphic setting-Construction of distributary and tidal channels-Reconnection of salt marsh habitat-Addition of large quantities of LWD -Revegetation of riparian areas.
