King County used this funding for the design of a project on Lower Boise Creek to restore channel, floodplain, and riparian conditions at the mouth of Boise Creek, a right-bank tributary to the White River at approximately river mile 23.3. The design project was for the relocation of the lowest 500 feet of channel into newly constructed channel approximately 1,200 feet in length. When implemented, this would restore the historic channel gradient and create valuable salmonid habitat. Boise Creek is one of the most productive tributary salmon streams in the White River Basin for Chinook, coho, and steelhead. This design project fit well with the WRIA strategy since it was identified as a near-term priority in the Salmon Habitat Protection and Restoration Strategy for WRIA 10 and 12.
