Middle Ohop Creek Restoration: NLT Reach
#11-OHOP-1037 #11-OHOP-1037
Organization Nisqually River Salmon Recovery Lead Entity
Sponsor South Puget Sound Salmon Enhancement Group (SPSSEG)
Status Dormant
Schedule Start Date: 5/31/2024 End Date: 5/31/2028
Category Category: Restoration
DESCRIPTION
This restoration project would include 3,377 feet of new main channel, 850 feet of restored main channel, 1,307 feet of restored side channel, and approximately 60 acres of floodplain and riparian planting. This also includes a request for additional funds for the partially funded restoration (construction) project 22-1059. The project area and surrounding reach is a key salmon spawning reach for several species of salmon, including ESA listed Nisqually Fall Chinook, winter steelhead, coho, chum, and pink salmon. 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. For the Bondo reach, specific restoration treatments focus on removing and/or reducing bank armoring and placed impairments and improving instream and off-channel habitat, riparian function, floodplain connectivity, and flood attenuation. For the NLT reach, specific restoration treatments focus on improving instream salmon habitat, riparian function and floodplain connectivity. This would follow the preliminary designs created by Herrera Environmental Consultants under the project 20-1038.
