SRP Project

Middle Fork Nooksack (Confl. NF to Mosquito Lk. Rd. bridge) Restoration

Nooksack Middle Fork LWD Placement 2009

Organization	WRIA 1 Watershed Management Board
Sponsor	Nooksack Salmon Enhancement Association
Status	Completed
Schedule	Start Date: 12/10/2009 End Date: 12/30/2011

DESCRIPTION

The objective of the Nooksack Middle Fork LWD project was to augment existing LWD accumulations by adding several large key pieces securing them with pilings. The goal was to increase the longevity and ability of these LWD accumulations to form channel Islands, sort and store sediments, create pools and provide cover along a one mile reach of the Middle Fork, which currently attracts significant numbers of early Chinook spawners. 25 existing LWD accumulations were augmented. All structures are intact after 2010 winter high flows. Many are accumulating additional LWD, have formed pools and are providing cover. Other structures have increased deposition which is quickly being colonized by Black cottonwood seedlings. The presence of early chinook at the project site was documented in fall 2010.
