The Nisqually Indian Tribe requested funds to implement the 2nd phase of a restoration project that is based on thorough planning including the completion of several watershed and restoration assessments and on a very successful first phase. The main objective of this phase was to install engineered log jams to restore and improve 2000ft of in-stream habitat and protect an eroding banks but also to restore the riparian buffers in 6 acres and acquire up to 5 acres of healthy riparian and floodplain forests. A total of 21 log jams were installed by this effort. In combination with adjacent work happening simultaneously by the WA Dept. of Transportation (9 jams) and the Phase 1 project (13 jams) that also occurred within the same reach in 2006 and 2007, the project will total over 43 structures by 2012 to increase pool habitat, increase stable and high quality spawning habitat, increase floodplain connections and decrease bank erosion and mass wasting. The acquisition part of this project also added to on-going efforts to protect streamside habitat in the Eatonville area of the Mashel River which has protected over 100 acres of healthy habitat since 2005. The riparian acquisition totalled 6.5 acres of riparian buffer. These actions were identified as one of the three highest priority restoration activities in the Nisqually watershed chapter of the NOAA approved Puget Sound Chinook Recovery Plan. In the long term this project will contribute to a more sustainable, healthy runs of ESA listed Chinook salmon and Steelhead Trout and the locally depressed pink salmon.
