This project constructed 3 log jams, 8 bank roughness structures within a 0.6 mile-long reach of the South Fork Nooksack River downstream of Acme around River Mile 6.5; a series of small habitat structures were also placed in the right bank side channel within the reach. The goal of the project was to address factors limiting South Fork Nooksack early chinook and other salmonids in the lower South Fork Nooksack River, specifically lack of deep pools with complex cover and low habitat diversity. The project was designed to: 1) increase quantity and quality of pools with cover in an area of known cool water influence, 2) increase habitat complexity and duration of flow in an existing forested side channel, and 3) reduce fine sediment inputs from local bank erosion. Several factors identified in the South Fork Nooksack River Acme-Confluence Reach Restoration Planning report (NNR 2005) led to project selection, including the presence of cool subsurface water inputs to the river, presence of a disconnected side channel, and the historic occurrence of large logjams at the site. Additionally, the project is located within a high priority reach for restoration, and large wood placement in the lower South Fork was identified in the WRIA01 Salmonid Recovery Plan as a high priority action for recovery of South Fork Nooksack early chinook.
