The Nooksack Tribe will restore instream habitat in the North Fork Nooksack River, RM 48.2-48.3, near Kendall, Whatcom County. The goal is to address North/Middle Fork Nooksack chinook limiting factors of high channel instability and low habitat diversity. Specifically, this project will construct 7 log jams in a 0.1-mile river segment, as part of the first portion of 41 total log jams that comprise the second of six phases of restoration planned in the broader Farmhouse reach (RM 46.4-49). Log jams are designed to: (1) increase length of side channels available for spawning; (2) form pools and increase habitat diversity; and (3) promote forested island formation and persistence. The project is designed to benefit ESA-listed chinook, but it will also benefit ESA-listed steelhead and bull trout; coho, chum, riverine sockeye, and pink salmon; and cutthroat trout. North/Middle Fork Nooksack early chinook are essential for ESU recovery, but productivity is critically low. This project implements high priority actions in a high priority reach of the North Fork. Given the forestry-dominated adjacent land use and relative lack of channel constraints, the reach presents an important opportunity to restore habitat-forming processes. The reach is also just upstream from the Kendall hatchery, site of the North Fork/Middle Fork Nooksack early chinook population rebuilding program, and the reach is heavily used, increasing certainty of benefit.
