SRP Project

North Fork Nooksack (Confluence SF to Glacier Cr.) Restoration

NF Nooksack Wildcat Reach Restoration Phase 2

Organization	WRIA 1 Watershed Management Board
Sponsor	Nooksack Indian Tribe
Status	Completed
Schedule	Start Date: 12/8/2011 End Date: 9/26/2014

DESCRIPTION

North Fork Nooksack early Chinook are considered essential for ESU recovery, but natural origin productivity and abundances are low. The Nooksack Indian Tribe (NIT) constructed 34 engineered log jams in the North Fork Nooksack River, RM 53.8-54.2, to increase channel stability and protect and encourage growth of maturing forested islands in the main channel. This project was Phase 2 of a larger project to restore the North Fork Nooksack River throughout the Wildcat Reach (53.3-54.8). The project was considered Tier 1 (highest) priority for chinook in WRIA 1 2011 SRFB project guidance. Protecting and encouraging growth of forested channel islands will ultimately increase spawning-to-incubation success by restoring the island braided planform historically evident in the North Fork.
