The proposed project is a combination of property acquisition and levee modifications along the left bank of the lower White River at approximately river mile 5.2. The project will reconnect the White River to its floodplain by modifying an existing levee and establishing a buffer that more closely matches the floodplain terrace, and includes a setback levee. The goal of this project is to restore riverine processes and functions while reducing flood risks along the right bank and behind the existing levee and revetment. A new setback levee at the edge of the forested wetland complex is necessary to protect private landowners, particularly in the Pierce County portion of the project. This project has been identified and highlighted in the WRIA 10/12 salmon strategy, and is particularly important in providing off-channel rearing habitat for fall and spring Chinook, coho, and steelhead. The acquisition includes approximately 15.2 acres within the King County portion and 34.2 acres within the Pierce County boundary from three property owners. These acquisitions include the remaining wetland and its buffer area that is not in public ownership. With full public ownership and conversation easements of the resource feature, the upstream portion of the levee would be breached to allow side-channel development, with the help of ELJs, and natural functions and processes that are important for salmon recovery in WRIA 10. Funding request is for $91,563 from SRFB and $1,148,363 from PSAR.
