WA Dept of Fish and Wildlife installed a large wood restoration project in a two mile reach of the Tucannon River located on the WT Wooten Wildlife Area (RM 45.8 to RM 43.8). The Tucannon River, like most rivers, has been altered by human impacts, changing large reaches of the river from a pool and riffle type geometry with diverse habitat, into a plane-bed form that lacks suitable habitat types. The project is a process-based restoration intended to restore a pool and riffle bed-form, reconnect floodplain, and improve natural stream processes in the Tucannon River. The project approach is to mimic historic wood conditions in the river based on reference reaches. The project will benefit native fish species including spring Chinook, steelhead, and Bull Trout. A helicopter was used to place large wood structures. The project was completed in July 2017 and has experienced one channel forming flow. The project has responded well, increasing pool frequency and developing mid-channel bars. Processed based projects require time (and high flows) to develop, however, the winter/spring flows that have happened the past two seasons has already shown good progress. The project is part of larger scale restoration being done on the Tucannon River through BPA funding and was identified in both the Snake River Salmon Recovery Plan and the Tucannon River Geomorphic Assessment as a priority action. The sponsor was able to leverage funds from BPA to reduce the costs charged to the SRFB grant.
