DESCRIPTION
The project will open ¾ mile of pristine spawning and rearing habitat to coho, steelhead and cutthroat trout on O Creek, a tributary in a nearly pristine section of the Snoqualmie River, just downstream from Snoqualmie Falls. The barrier to fish migration is an old log ford, 150 yards upstream from the creek's confluence with the Snoqualmie. There is an existing dual road crossing, one on top of the other. The lower crossing is an old log ford consisting of logs half buried in the streambed. These logs are acting as a low dam of approximately 4 foot drop that creates a passage barrier. Four bed control sills will be installed to limit the re-grade, minimizing the amount of sediment delivered downstream to the river where Chinook redds are present. Removal of the logs and installation of four rock weirs will be completed with a tracked excavator. This will limit incision of the upstream channel to about 3 feet in depth near the bridge crossing. This will also steepen the upstream channel and mobilize some of the silt and sand creating better spawning conditions. Equipment will not have to operate in the flowing stream; a bypass will be installed. Banks will be sloped and replanted with a variety of native vegetation. The current bridge will be replaced with a crossing one year after project completion to allow the regrade to occur; stabilize and be better able to identify the ordinary high watermark and stable bank lines for footings.
