DESCRIPTION
Working with the local community, tribes, agencies, NGOs and the public, Jefferson County will undertake an assessment of the Brinnon Flats in order to develop resiliency and action plans and conceptual designs for maximizing the quantity and quality of available fish habitat in the main and side channels and estuary. The plans will balance the needs of salmonids with community objectives. Climate-related changes are expected to put further strain on aquatic species already stressed by human impacts on habitat and are expected to increase flood related property damage, and these will also be addressed. Flows typical for targeted salmon life histories will be modeled and conceptual designs developed. The project will achieve four linked objectives: 1) Identify an "ecological corridor" to reduce flood damage expenditures and improve natural floodplain processes over the longer term 2) Survey and engage landowners and interested parties utilizing a conceptual framework for equity, diversity and inclusion to promote fair treatment and full participation; 3) Identify and prioritize actions to improve resiliency, and 4) Develop conceptual designs for all participating landowners to balance community needs. Existing LiDAR and other information will be analyzed and used in combination with a new physical habitat assessment and 2D hydraulic model to generate CMZ and other maps.
