The City of Issaquah restored aquatic and riparian habitat at Confluence Park in 2015. The 15.5 acre Confluence Park, located at the junction of Issaquah Creek and East Fork Issaquah Creek, is being developed largely as passive recreational open space. The restoration of the stream corridors is a major feature of the adopted Confluence Parks Master Site Plan. Through this project the city restored aquatic and riparian stream processes targeting restoration of spawning, rearing, food production, and refuge habitat for salmonids including Chinook, coho, sockeye, and kokanee. The final cost of the project was higher than originally proposed because design was not finalized prior to original subaward and did not have adequate costs estiamted for final design and construction. Subsequent grant awards (12-1285, 13-1150) have assisted City of Issaquah to address increased costs that also resulted from mulitple years of construction delay due to ACOE Section 106 cultural resources review related to a historical structure within the floodplain. Final instream and riparian metrics fell short of the original proposed scope because they were conceptual in nature, and lacked enough field survey and engineer assessment to refine how best to ehance site conditions. Ultimately, restoration elements were implemented over 1421 feet of stream and 5.75 acres of buffer and included: removal of hardened creek banks; removal of floodplain fill with channel reconfiguration; adding engineered log jams, large woody debris and other pool-forming features; creation of off-channel habitat; and removal of invasive vegetation with replanting using native species. The WRIA 8 Salmon Recovery Plan identifies the site as a Tier 1 Priority Restoration, and is listed in the 2013 Three-Year Work Plan (Issaquah Projects I211A and I211B).
