DESCRIPTION
This project is a continuation of the installation of large woody debris into the North Fork Stillaguamish. Past SRFB funds have been used to purchase and install 20 Engineered Log Jams (ELJ's) and one 1500 ft. log cribwaqll at the Steelhead Haven Landslide. The Tribe working with AnchorQea developed a restoration prioritization plan looking at the best locations to install ELJ's to accomplish various restoration practices for different life stages and habitat needs. This project would fund the installation 6-8 jams depending on cost and location of large wood and access to the installation site.
This project continued the installation of large wood into the North Fork Stillaguamish. Past SRFB funds purchased and installed 20 Engineered Log Jams (ELJ's) and one 1500 ft. log cribwall at the Steelhead Haven Landslide. The Stillaguamish Tribe working with AnchorQea developed a restoration prioritization plan looking at the best locations to install ELJ's to accomplish various restoration practices for different life stages and habitat needs. The jams were installed at the Tree Farm and Leland Douglas sites, as described in the preliminary design attachments in PRISM. This project funded the installation of six main stem engineered log jams, (additional match funding from NWIFC PCSRF totaling $105,833 provided enough funding to install a 7th engineered log jam in the main stem), additionally two large side channel jams and several smaller wood complexes located at the mouth of Fortson Creek and the side channel at Leland Douglas were also constructed. Restoration followed the Design-Build standards outlined in SRFB Manual 18 Appendix D-4.
