This project was a floodplain and off-channel habitat restoration project between river mile 109 and 110 of the Yakima River in Yakima, WA. The reach once hosted thousands of acres of naturally functioning floodplain that provided diverse habitat for resident and anadromous fish, and a high level of ecological resiliency that benefited multiple species. The project site is owned by the City of Yakima. The City of Yakima enhanced the connectivity of floodplain habitat by removing approximately 2000 feet of armored/unmaintained levee to allow for more natural and unrestricted movement of fish, water and substrate. A portion of the Yakima Greenway trail that ran on top of the levee was relocated outside of the 100 year floodplain. The project benefited Steelhead, Coho and Chinook salmon, lamprey, and resident fish. This project was the second phase of a multi-phase project that will ultimately lead to many additional acres of restored habitat in the Gap to Gap reach of the Yakima River on property owned by the City, the Greenway, Yakama Nation and Washington Department of Transportation. The larger project will contribute to restoration of wild steelhead and salmon recovery and will also have outdoor recreation benefits for birding, walking, jogging, and other trail use along the greenway path.
