Skagit Conservation District is partnered with USFS on erosion reduction project to reduce the risk of road failures, erosion and their negative effects on Finney Creek and Skagit River. Finney Creek, once a WDFW index stream for Chinook, has 11.5 miles of anadromous fish habitat and 11 miles of resident fish habitat. Sediment from Finney Creek has negatively affected the water quality of Skagit River since the mid-1980's downstream of RM 47.5. Finney Creek is listed as an impaired water body for elevated temperature. This project consisted of culvert replacement, fill stabilization and road decommissioning. This roadwork was identified in 1992 during a road deficiency survey and again in 1995 following storm activity. Road prioritization is based on risk ratings and inventoried drainage deficiencies. This project is the last in a series of projects, using conventional road treatment methods that address 10.8 miles of high-risk FS roads, for the upper 60 % of the watershed. Results: Water quality will improve and the risk of landslides/sediment delivery will incrementally be reduced. This action is expected to contribute to the incremental reduction of road- associated failures and other sedimentation that would occur from water collection and concentration. This project targets the limiting factor of egg to fry survival due to sedimentation for native Chinook, Coho, steelhead and Dolly Varden.
