SRP Project

Cascade Creek Acquisition

Organization	San Juan County Lead Entity for Salmon Recovery
Sponsor	San Juan County Conservation Land Bank
Status	Completed
Schedule	Start Date: 12/9/2015 End Date: 11/2/2016

DESCRIPTION

The Cascade Creek project on Orcas Island has resulted in the permanent protection of 23.95 acres of upland forest buffer and riparian corridor that are vital salmon habitat in San Juan County. The Cascade Creek stream system is one of the three most valuable freshwater salmon habitats in San Juan County and has documented historical use by Chinook, Chum, and Coho salmon, and Cutthroat trout. Included in the acquisition is 1,250 feet of riparian corridor, including all 300 feet of currently available salmon habitat and 950 feet of upstream buffer habitat that could be opened up for spawning habitat by a proposed fish ladder. The Mountain Lake/Cascade Creek basin extends from the top of Mt. Constitution in Moran State Park through Mountain Lake to Buck Bay, where this project is based. This project, in conjunction with the previously SRFB funded culvert replacement at Cascade Creek (07-1539), will permanently protect and restore this vital salmon habitat.
