DESCRIPTION
The goal of this project is to restore natural processes and improve habitat conditions on the alluvial fan of Illabot Creek by addressing impacts from the dikes and roadway. The first phase of the project was completed in 2013 with SRF Board funds (project #11-1542), and included removing approximately 1,150 linear feet of dike, installing log jams, and constructing pilot channels downstream of Rockport- Cascade Road. The funding request described here is for the second phase of the project which will involve completing final designs, constructing two new 100-foot span bridges on Rockport-Cascade Road, removing an additional 1,500 linear feet of dike, installing log jams, and actively reconnecting Illabot Creek with historic channels on the floodplain and alluvial fan. The existing bridge will be left in place, and when the project is completed any one of the three bridges could convey all or a portion of the flow from Illabot Creek. The project will initially direct flow through constructed pilot channels and the two new bridges, and then over time will allow the natural processes of erosion, deposition, and channel development to occur across the alluvial fan. This is expected to substantially increase spawning and rearing habitat for Chinook salmon, steelhead trout, and other species.
