Five high priority parcels in the Gray and Stormy Reaches of the Middle Entiat "Stillwaters" were acquired between RM 16-19 for protection and in preparation for future restoration efforts. CDLT successfully protected 94.5 acres in perpetuity, with 1.18 miles of riverbank and associated wetlands, side channels, alcoves and upland areas consistent with maintaining and improving habitat for endangered salmonids. The outcomes from this permanent protection are to permanently prevent degradation of the existing habitat from development, to facilitate restoration activities to enhance the habitat, and to have compatible public access and education activities. The project terminated the rights of two adjacent landowners to use the Cottonwood Bridge, which had never been finished and had resulted in areas of fill for roads at both ends of the bridge and for planned residential street on the far side of the river. After termination of these rights, the Bridge was removed as part of this project. CDLT acquired several parcels adjacent to other CDLT-protects lands in the floodplain north of the Potato Morraine at River Mile 16. These portions are in much less altered condition, with excellent wetland, side channel and alcove habitat and potential for habitat enhancement.
