DESCRIPTION
The Walla Walla County Conservation District will use this grant to develop and provide engineered designs for an instream habitat restoration project on 0.56 miles of ideal Steelhead spawning and rearing habitat. The property is located on the Walla Walla River just upstream of Last Chance Road in WRIA 32 in Walla Walla County. The project is located within a major spawning area for ESA listed steelhead, bull trout and other species of concern. The design project will include construction ready plans to enhance instream habitat, re-establish side channels, and retain existing mature riparian vegetation.  The project reach has recently exhibited significant lateral migration of the channel and disconnection of the floodplain resulting in concentrated erosion and loss of established riparian vegetation and cropland. There are currently 2 pump diversions on this stretch that require annual dredging to maintain river connection to the diversion. The design will incorporate large woody debris placement, side/overflow channel connection, setback levees in strategic locations and control structures to maintain water flow at diversion points.  These design elements, once implemented, will reduce limiting factors for steelhead recovery and increase resiliency during flood events.
