DESCRIPTION
The Teanaway River lies northwest of Ellensburg and is the largest undammed tributary to the Yakima River. The Mid-Columbia Fisheries (MCF) proposes to restore Teanaway River complexity by placing up to 1,000 pieces of wood at strategic locations along 12 miles in the NF, MF and WF of the Teanaway River. In addition, the MCF will re-contour over 5000 feet of artificial ditch networks in Indian Creek (left bank tributary to the NF Teanaway) to reduce artificial drainage, and will hand place bundles of wood slash throughout the Indian Creek floodplain to improve the function of a previous large wood placement project (no new structures are being installed). The project site lies within the state-owned Teanaway Community Forest, which was purchased in 2013 as an element of the Yakima Basin Integrated Plan. By placing woody material and re-contouring artificial ditch networks, the project will benefit the spring Chinook, coho, steelhead that are extant to this watershed. Restored streams will retain spawning substrate and floodwaters will inundate broad, formerly-wet meadows. The project scope and budget is shaped by similar work implemented by Yakama Nation. Enhanced recreation opportunities include fishing, hunting in recovered riparian areas, and outdoor observations.
