The CTUIR proposes to increase channel complexity and floodplain connectivity while improving fish habitat on the North Touchet River as part of an ongoing phased project? The overall project occurs in three phases (2019, 2020, and 2021) over three miles (RM 1.3-4.3). This grant application seeks funding to implement the third phase (RM 2.0-2.7) in 2021. The work included in the third phase, to which this application is addressed, will occur on both the right and left banks with the majority of the work scheduled to occur on the left bank. Three private landowners will participate in this phase. The primary element in this phase includes the setting back of 3,600 feet of a levee. The levee setback on the left bank will require the current landowner, Empey Holdings, LLC., to give up at least 8 acres of land that is currently in apple production. The total area that would then be incorporated in the active floodplain on the left bank is 18 acres. Tearing down the existing levee and building the setback levee will require moving some 35,000 cubic yards of material. Habitat structures, largely in the form of large wood, will be installed along the entire project reach. We also intend to replace an 80 foot channel constricting rail car bridge with a 150 foot span bridge to allow the channel room to migrate laterally. Along the right bank, there are two riparian forested areas that will have alcoves constructed in them to act as refugia for juvenile salmonids.
