SRP Project

DESCRIPTION

The North Meander Reconnection Project, completed in 2010, provides 3100 feet of off-channel rearing habitat for juvenile salmonids in the mainstem Stillaguamish River. Almost 70% of the off-channel rearing habitat in the mainstem has been lost due to the construction of levees and revetments, and the removal of gravel and LWD. Historically these side channels provided key areas for Chinook and coho juveniles to rear. The North Meander is a river bend cut off by a channel straightening project on Cook Slough in the 1930s. The upper end was plugged and over time the lower end filled in with sediments, eventually leaving a depressional wetland with no hydraulic connection to the river. The project consists of a box culvert inlet from Cook Slough, excavation of an inlet channel to connect to the upper end of the meander, excavation of the meander, and connection of an outlet to the Stillaguamish River. Extensive LWD placement, including 2 jams at the inlet and outlet, and reforestation were also included.
