We propose to restore bull trout and anadromous salmonid refugia in the Elwha Watershed (OLYM) through the replacement of undersized barrier culverts on Olympic Hot Springs Road at Griff Creek, Madison Creek, and two other unnamed tributaries to the Elwha River. This project needs to proceed dam removal on the Elwha River (scheduled to begin in 2012) as culvert replacement will provide access to more than 1500 meters of high quality riverine habitat, providing critical, clear-water refuge habitat for bull trout and other fish species during the period of removal of the Glines Canyon and Elwha dams (when the mainstem of the river will carry large loads of sediment). Culvert replacement will also restore access to important tributary spawning and rearing habitat for all anadromous fish species following dam removal. The existing culverts will be replaced with culverts sized according to Washington State guidelines. The existing culverts are complete or partial barriers to upstream migration of bull trout (a threatened species), rainbow trout, cutthroat trout, other resident fish species in the Elwha watershed, as well as anadromous salmonids (including listed Puget Sound steelhead and Chinook) following removal of the dams. This project would be implemented through a partnership between the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe and Olympic National Park.
