Pierce Conservation District used funding to continue work to inventory and eradicated invasive Knotweed species from the Nisqually River Basin. The project plan was to complete surveys of Nisqually River and its tributaries, continue to eradicate all knotweed found in the basin beginning at the furthest upstream occurrence, and reestablish native riparian vegetation where necessary, and to educate residents in target communities about knotweed and other invasive vegetation. In 2012, sponsor surveyed and treated approximately 338 acres on 54 landowner sites, along 15.4 river miles (previously treated as well as new areas) of the main stem of the Nisqually and its tributaries for knotweed. In 2013, sponsor surveyed and treated approximately 149 acres on 49 landowner sites, along 75.1 river miles (previously treated as well as new areas) of the main stem of the Nisqually,its tributaries, and Alder Lake for knotweed. In 2014, sponsor surveyed and treated approximately 284 acres on 49 landowner sites, along 59.5 river miles (previously treated as well as new areas) of the main stem of the Nisqually and its tributaries for knotweed. The Nisqually River and its tributaries are important spawning and rearing reaches for Nisqually River Chinook, Coho, chum, and steelhead. The basin however is infested with non-native knotweed species, predominately Japanese knotweed. Japanese knotweed significantly degrades habitat for fish along the river. This project augmented and supported regional recovery plans and the Lead Entity's strategy, by restoring and protecting riparian habitat in the most important salmon production are of the Nisqually River system. This project addressed both salmon bearing areas and areas with potential to affect salmon-bearing areas by transport of knotweed fragments via multiple vectors within the watershed. Surveys and treatments took place in Pierce, Thurston, and Lewis Counties. Active identification and eradication portion of this and future iterations of this project will continue through 2020, with a maintenance plan created for ongoing success of eradication efforts. The total acres of knotweed treated over the life of the project was 488 acres. The project agreement was increased by $9,882 of sponsor match and $55,998 of Salmon State funding awarded to project 12-1372 by the SRFB on December 6, 2012 to afford an additional year of riparian restoration. Sponsor did not include the proposed donated labor in their application but did include over $300,000 in actual donated labor in the final project.
