Mid-Puget Sound Fisheries Enhancement Group used this funding to complete design plans sufficient to begin the permitting process and go to bid for construction on a stream ecosystem and estuary restoration project for the lower reaches of Beaver Creek. Beaver Creek is a salmon-bearing stream that flows into Clam Bay, in the Colvos Passage and Rich Passage sub-watershed near Manchester, WA. The project area is on US Navy property at the Fleet Industrial Supply Center, Manchester Fuel Department. An extensive restoration project dating back to 2003 has been taking place in the lower reaches and estuary of Beaver Creek, culminating an effort to restore the natural estuary at the creek’s mouth. This planning project is for the fourth phase, and it is directly tied into the ongoing restoration efforts and addresses two of the last major modifications in the lower reaches of Beaver Creek. This Phase 4 project assessed and designed the removal of an artificial sediment detention pond along Beaver Creek where it enters Manchester Fuel Department property. The project also investigated the high flow velocity barrier formed by the 48" culvert under the access road immediately upstream of the sediment pond, as well as the high flow bypass into a roadside ditch. The downstream restoration efforts were designed to accommodate a fully functioning upstream condition and will be improved by the proposed project.
