DESCRIPTION
The Asotin County Conservation District is sponsoring this restoration project to add more wood to sections of Charley Creek, North Fork Asotin Creek, and South Fork Asotin Creek. These creeks are in the Asotin Creek watershed approximately 10 km south of Clarkston, WA and are part of an Intensively Monitored Watershed project (IMW). The goal of the IMW is to test if adding large woody debris can increase abundance and productivity of wild juvenile steelhead. The goal of the proposed project is to implement the adaptive management plan of the IMW and add more wood to sections of stream that have been previously restored in order to increase the density of wood and create more habitat complexity and floodplain connection. The project will use monitoring data from the IMW to identify areas where wood density is low and/or where habitat change is limited and target those areas to add more wood. The total area is 14 km long and we anticipate adding several hundred pieces of wood to each stream using the low-tech process-based restoration method develop in this IMW using post-assisted log structures (PALS). The project should result in higher wood density and improved rearing and spawning conditions for wild summer run steelhead and improve the ability of the IMW to test conclusively if large wood additions can increase steelhead productivity in small wadeable streams.
