DESCRIPTION
"This project conducted a feasibility study to identify opportunities for instream and riparian habitat restoration to benefit Chinook salmon, steelhead trout, bull trout, and resident sea-run cutthroat trout, on the lower 0.33 mile of Cherry Creek between the pump station and the confluence with the Snoqualmie River. The feasibility analyses assessed conditions within stream reaches, identified barriers to implementing projects, and highlighted the best and highest priority sites where restoration is likely to be most successful. A preliminary design was developed for the preferred restoration alternative."
This project conducted a feasibility study to identify opportunities for instream and riparian habitat restoration to benefit Chinook salmon, steelhead trout, bull trout, and resident sea-run cutthroat trout, on the lower 0.33 mile of Cherry Creek between the pump station and the confluence with the Snoqualmie River. The feasibility analyses assessed conditions within stream reaches, identifed barriers to implementing projects, and highlighted the best and highest priority sites where restoration is likely to be most successful. A preliminary design was developed for the preferred restoration alternative. Stakeholder participation was included early in the development of the preferred alterntiaves, and as a result, the concept design has meet with broad support from stakeholders. Sound Salmon Solutions will seek funding for final design and construction, in a phased approach, of the preferred alternatives.
