SRP Project

South Prairie Creek Floodplain Acquisition

Organization	Puyallup and Chambers Watershed Salmon Recovery Lead Entity
Sponsor	Pierce Conservation District
Status	Dormant
Schedule	Start Date: 10/7/2010 End Date: 9/30/2014

DESCRIPTION

This project will purchase a conservation easement to protect 20 acres of riparian habitat on South Prairie Creek and a connected tributary. After the land is protected by this easement, the mainstem channel and associated tributaries will be improved through removal of invasive plant species and debris associated with human encroachment, and planting of native riparian floodplain plants, which will improve spawning habitat for Chinook and other salmonid species, and increase rearing habitat for Coho. All riparian plantings will focus upon the planting of conifer trees where soil conditions are appropriate, and will include underplanting of shade-tolerant conifers throughout the riparian acquisition area. An earthen berm will be removed to return a degraded portion of the property to fully functional riparian floodplain status.
