This grant was used to restore connectivity to the active floodplain area in the lower ½ mile of the Tolt River by setting back levees and allowing the river to flood and/or avulse into the restored floodplain area. The WRIA 07 Recovery Strategy specifically targets levee setbacks/ removals along important spawning and rearing reaches of the major rivers in the Snohomish Basin as priority actions in its salmon habitat protection and restoration strategy (Snohomish Basin Salmon Recovery Forum, 2003, p. 15). Implementation of the Tolt project is expected to restore side channel habitat and pool and riffle character to the main channel. The general project components included: removal of 2,500 feet of levee along the right bank of the Tolt River, with construction of a new setback levee roughly 800' behind the existing levee, construction of an extensive woody debris revetment, construction of seven large engineered logjam structures and three LWD channel-roughening structures, planting of over 24,000 native trees and shrubs in the floodplain, the construction of interpretive and recreational elements to offset impacts to existing recreational uses in the park, and construction of more than 100 new parking spaces for park visitors. Note that the recreational elements and new parking spaces were not a part of the SRFB grant, but were part of the project overall.
