The Kittitas Conservation Trust produced the full range of preliminary and final engineering drawings, exhibits, construction notes and cost estimate for eight large engineered log jams and 30 instream snag placements that are scheduled for construction in the lower Cle Elum River during autumn 2014. Design documents delivered include: > Concept design and evaluation (feasibility study and scientific analysis) > Preliminary project design (30%, permit level plans and specifications) > Final project design (CAD drawings, construction exhibits and associated bid documents). The engineering and project design process was informed by extensive scientific studies, field work, LIDAR data, flow modeling and analyses pertinent to developing effective and durable instream structures. Design process elements included: > Site reconnaissance and extensive topographical surveys of the project reach > Hydraulic modeling coupled with geomorphic assessments and analyses > Stakeholder presentations and regulatory agencies’ review and comment > Project management, administration, and document production. The 8 engineered log jams (ELJ) and 30 instream snag placements are scheduled for construction in the reach of the mainstem Cle Elum River located between 1.0 and 2.0 miles downstream from the Lake Cle Elum Dam. Helicopter assisted construction techniques will be used to minimize impacts to the adjacent floodplain habitat. The primary purpose of the ELJ’s is to restore instream habitat complexity for Spring Chinook, Coho, Sockeye, Steelhead and bull trout spawning and rearing.
