DESCRIPTION
City of Kent will restore river processes by constructing a side channel and reconnecting floodplain on the left bank of the Green River between river mile (RM) 21.5 and RM 22.3.  The downstream edge of the site coincides with the confluence of Mullen Slough with the Green River.  The site was previously acquired by the City of Kent and this next phase for restoration will create side channel rearing and refuge habitat for use by juvenile salmon throughout most of the year, particularly juvenile Chinook salmon that inhabit the Green River.  Additional fish resources present at the site and expected to utilize the project area are bull trout, chum, coho, pink, winter steelhead, pacific lamprey and river lamprey.  Enhancing habitat for improved juvenile salmonid rearing, lifestage diversity, and productivity is a priority in the Green River watershed.  A secondary goal of the project is to create additional flood storage and to help alleviate flood damages in urban and agricultural areas in the project vicinity.  Frager Road will be relocated away from the river's edge to maximize the site to allow creation of the side channel network and expanded floodplain.  The road realignment will provide a greater buffer/setback from the river.  The project design was completed 12/31/2013.
