DESCRIPTION
Key actions for this project include excavation of a flood refugium for juvenile salmonid rearing habitat, realignment of the stream channel, improvement of fish passage, restoration of the wetland complex, placement of large wood, and planting of native wetland and riparian vegetation.
Consideration should be given to seeking a voluntary acquisition of riverfront easements, in combination with partnership and incentives for the property owner, for additional off-channel habitat. Th easements would make levee maintenance and improvements possible along this important reach of the river.
NOTES
A portion of the property is listed as a Green/Duwamish Ecosystem Restoration Project, identified within the "Mainstem Maintenance" sites for significant levee repair and improvement.
A large development is proposed for this area and is being considered for permitting as of 2005. This property is subject to future annexation by the City of Tukwila.
