DESCRIPTION
Phase B of the McCaw Reach Fish Restoration Project will develop designs on 4175 ft of the Touchet River near Waitsburg, WA. The project is located in the Touchet River Major Spawning Area for Mid-Columbia Steelhead and is located in a priority area for restoration as identified in the Snake River Salmon Recovery Plan. The overall goals are to develop a design that will increase roughness elements, promote sediment storage and create a dynamic channel environment with complex side channels and large wood features. The existing channel is reduced in complexity and roughness, has degraded riparian vegetation and has incised in some areas. This project will place large wood features in the main channel and side channels to encourage the activation of side channels, increase bar deposition, and develop pools. The project, when constructed will provide Mid Columbia steelhead rearing habitat, bull trout wintering habitat, and non-listed Chinook passage and holding habitat. With the completion of this project, overall river channel complexity will be improved by increased bar development, pool establishment, and overall increase in stream length.
