DESCRIPTION
The Hoko River is the largest watershed in WRIA 19 and historically supported large populations of anadromous salmonids including chinook, coho, and chum salmon as well as steelhead and cutthroat trout. The 9000 Road was constructed parallel to the Hoko River in Clallam County for 6.5 miles. The 9000 road has historically been a chronic producer of fine sediment to the Hoko River. The grade was constructed using large cut and fill surfaces that are potentially unstable. In 2000 and 2005 Rayonier attempted to stabilize the road. While the early efforts to reduce landslide potential were worthwhile, large areas of unstable fill from the original grade construction remained on the old road surface. These remaining fills have landslide potential and some have recently failed and directly delivered sediment to the upper Hoko River. In 2015 the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe fully abandoned the stream adjacent portions of the 9000 road by removing fill and side-cast and removing seven culverts to remove the road cut to its original slope. We also removed six cross-drain culverts, and two culverts in flowing streams. Following abandonment we conducted erosion control and revegetated with native trees. Additionally, we conducted a one-day helicopter flight to place 100 pieces of wood in a 1.5 mile reach of the upper Hoko River to improve spawning and rearing habitat. This project will protected spawning and rearing habitat by reducing the chances of direct delivery of sediment the Hoko River. The project will also improved salmon and spawning and rearing habitat by providing large wood for habitat forming processes.
