Ohop Creek is a tributary to the Nisqually River in Pierce County, Washington, near the Town of Eatonville. It supports fall Chinook, coho and pink salmon, steelhead, and resident trout species. The lower 6.3 miles of Ohop Creek was ranked among the highest priority tributary reaches needing restoration within the Nisqually basin based on the Nisqually Chinook Recovery Plan (2001), and EDT multi-species analysis (Nisqually Tribe 2004). A technical memorandum, Lower Ohop Restoration Plan, summarizes conditions in Ohop Valley affecting habitat in the project reach and identifies restoration options for lower Ohop Creek (Homza, Napp, and Salminen, Nov. 2002). The first phase of a comprehensive restoration project has been partially funded by the Salmon Recovery Funding Board (SRFB). This grant fully restored one mile of Ohop Creek, including: finalized engineering plans (currently at 70%); excavate a new, one-mile section of channel that is higher elevation, more sinuous, and hydrologically connected to floodplain and wetland areas; place large wood in the new channel to improve fish and wildlife habitat; replant the valley floor with native vegitation; construct water diversions to the new channel; backfill the old, straightened channel; and maintain the plantings for three years. Restoration of the current stream channel will benefit all salmonid species that use Ohop Creek.
