Construction phase of 07-MPR-269. Tulalip Tribes and partners propose to restore and enhance floodplain connection, abandon side channels and connections to Riley Slough at and just upstream of the junction of the Skykomish and Snoqualmie rivers that we describe as the Snohomish Confluence Project. These actions have the potential to measurably increase rearing and spawning habitats for Chinook, Steelhead, Coho, Pink and Chum salmon. Bank protection upstream and adjacent to the project area has redirected flows in the Skykomish River, which has contributed to abandonment of side channels, and altering the lower end of Riley Slough. Over the last 25 years dramatic reductions in Coho spawning has been observed in Riley Slough tributaries. Project partners include the property owner where the floodplain connection and side channel enhance would take place, Snohomish County, and Ducks Unlimited.
