DESCRIPTION
This project will complete 90% design and permit applications for restoration in the North Fork Nooksack River, Farmhouse Phase 4 Reach. The project will include the design of 55 engineered log jams in a 1.0-mile river segment, completing restoration in the broader Farmhouse reach. Log jams are designed to: (1) increase length of stable side channels available for spawning; (2) form pools and increase habitat diversity; and (3) promote forested island formation and persistence. Specific deliverables include: (1) 90% design planset; (2) basis of design report; (3) technical specifications, construction quantities and costs; and (4) permit applications. The project will design restoration that implements high priority actions in a high priority reach for NF/MF Nooksack early chinook. The goal is to address North/Middle Fork Nooksack chinook limiting factors of high channel instability and low habitat diversity.Restoration will also benefit ESA-listed steelhead and bull trout; coho, chum, and pink salmon; and cutthroat trout. NF/MF Nooksack early chinook are a genetically unique chinook population that is essential for ESU recovery, but productivity is critically low. The Farmhouse reach is just upstream from the Kendall hatchery, site of the North Fork/Middle Fork Nooksack early chinook population rebuilding program, and the reach has the potential to be heavily used, increasing certainty of benefit.
