DESCRIPTION
The Columbia Land Trust used this funding for the Klickitat River Floodplain Conservation and Restoration (Phase I) project, which protected habitat between river miles 18.3 and 32.2 of the Klickitat River. This portion of the river has the greatest habitat complexity of any reach on the lower Klickitat River and provides critical spawning, migration, and rearing habitat for winter and summer steelhead (ESA-Threatened), Chinook salmon (spring and fall runs), and coho salmon. The project area occurs within a reach identified in the "Klickitat Lead Entity Salmon Recovery Strategy" as the second highest of 21 top priority geographic areas. This reach provides the highest proportion of basin-wide spawning habitat for all three species, accounting for roughly 30%, 51%, and 38% of the annually observed spawning basin-wide for steelhead, fall chinook, and coho, respectively. Riparian and floodplain conditions have been degraded by a combination of 1996 flood deposits and channel encroachment by road fill. The absence of other floodplain development, coupled with somewhat less-confined valley conditions, has afforded the river in this reach greater resiliency than downstream reaches. Phase I protected 462 acres of floodplain, restored 7.5 acres of riparian and floodplain habitat, and completed a feasibility assessment to assist Phase 2 planning for reduction of adverse river-road interactions.
