DESCRIPTION
The Cowiche Creek Floodplain Reconnection - Phase 3 project will restore streambank and floodplain function on the lower reach of the creek on two private landowners and City of Yakima property. The project also increases the scope of Phase 2 work. Project objectives are to: Reduce channel confinement by removing 400 ft of railroad berm on the stream's east bank and recontouring the bank. Increase floodplain complexity, stream shading and bank stability by planting key locations along approximately 900 ft of streambank. Revegetate 1.0 acre of floodplain terrace adjacent to the creek that is currently bare soil. Restore streambank and streambed condition by removing non-native materials from the stream channel. Encourage channel aggradation by placing porous rock weirs at several locations in the stream. Increase scope and effectiveness of Phase 2 project (dike removal, debris hauling, creation of swale, replace landowner irrigation take-out, revegetation)
