DESCRIPTION
Intensively Monitored Watersheds (IMW) have been established to assess the effectiveness of habitat restoration on fish production at the watershed scale. In the San Juan de Fuca region, Deep Creek, E. & W. Twin Rivers are included as study watersheds in the overall IMW design. Their inclusion was based on several factors: completed watershed analysis and restoration plan, ongoing detailed monitoring of habitat and fish population characteristics and planned/completed watershed scale habitat restoration efforts. Restoration activities in Deep Creek have occurred since 1997 and include extensive in-channel LWD efforts, off-channel development, riparian planting and road decommissioning. At the E. Twin R., restoration to date includes in-channel LWD efforts, off-channel development, and riparian plantings. Restoration actions in the IMW watersheds have been funded by multiple sources and total some 2.3 million dollars to date. The W. Twin River has not had any restoration actions and is being used as a control in the study design. We used a heavy lift helicopter to add large wood to two previously untreated tributaries of Deep Creek as well as to add free key pieces of wood to its major tributaries the East and West Forks. On the East Fork a total of 55 pieces of large wood were added to degraded channel types between river mile 0-1.2, while on the West Fork a totla of 120 pieces were added between river 0.5-1.5. On Deep Creek an additional 75 pieces of large wood were added to the channel between river mile 0.3-1.2. Placements were desinged to improve pool structure, slow stream velocities and floodplain connectivitiy. Primary species to benefit are coho salmon, chum salmon, steelhead and cutthroat trout.
