DESCRIPTION

This proposal is for a restoration (construction) grant for stream and riparian treatments along 1,000 feet of Ohop Creek within the designated Middle Reach of the Ohop watershed. The project area for this proposal includes a minimum of two adjacent tax parcels including the 'Bondo' and 'Litzenberger' sites, located approximately ¼ mile south of Highway 161 near Eatonville, WA. The project area and surrounding reach is a key salmon spawning reach for several species of salmon, including ESA listed Nisqually Fall Chinook. Key impairments which will be addressed as part of the project include bank armoring and stream channelization, limited in-stream habitat, limited occurrence of wood, and poor riparian quality. Overall restoration goals for the project reach include increasing habitat complexity, increasing floodplain connectivity, improving riparian condition, adding large wood, decreasing embeddedness, and generally improving salmonid spawning and rearing habitat. Engineering designs for the project site are currently being completed as part of a prior design/planning grant. A Preliminary Design set is expected to be completed by the spring of 2022, prior to the final application for this proposal. More specific restoration treatments and a detailed cost estimate will be forthcoming upon the completion of the Preliminary Design.
