DESCRIPTION
Protect the stream corridor from mining or development. All permits for mining activities should be reviewed for compliance with existing regulations. The access road to Kitsap Quarry currently crosses Kitsap Creek with at least one culvert that is a partial barrier to fish passage on its own and a complete barrier when screened with a home-made beaver deceiver. Potential future restoration activities could include either removal or relocation of the road that results in fewer impacts.
The floodplain through this reach is relatively intact; however, there are active mining activities that encroach into the stream corridor.
