The Puyallup Tribe of Indians used this grant to complete a preliminary design for relocating Boise Creek to its historic channel within the Enumclaw Golf Course. Boise Creek is host to 6 species of Pacific salmonids including two ESA listed species (White River spring Chinook and steelhead). This level of design incorporated a historical flood flow analysis, channel hydraulic analysis, wetlands delineation and soils review. It also included a rough total project cost estimate, materials quantity, and suggestions for access and staging that would have minimal disruption to the golf course. The proposed channel alignment would hug the southern boundary of the golf course at the base of a steep rock cliff. It is apparent that the creek had previously occupied this location due to remnant channel features and standing water in some of the depressions. Relocating the channel would provide shade, better cover and other habitat benefits for endangered salmonids and would reduce human disturbance to spawning fish, including the impacts associated with golf course maintenance activities.  Property owners were not able to commit to the project at this time, and the project was picked up again in 2018.
