In Phase I of the South Prairie Creek project, Forterra aims to acquire the Decker property along South Prairie Creek to permanently protect the land and current productivity of the creek from residential development impacts. Phase I will also include a preliminary restoration design (30%). In a future Phase II, Forterra and its partners (TBD) would then complete and implement the restoration strategy for the property to improve in-stream structure/habitat for priority salmonid species, remove upland structures and impervious surfaces that do not provide a stewardship function on the property, reconnect the floodplain, thus improving water quality of the creek. The Decker property is 21 acres of floodplain and riparian habitat along South Prairie Creek near Orting. This segment of South Prairie Creek provides habitat for threatened Puget Sound Chinook and steelhead; it also provides habitat for Coho and pink salmon, which are culturally and economically significant within the Puyallup Watershed.  Previously funded as 16-1457 and the project fell through due to landowner.
