The Nooksack Tribe will restore 2.4 miles of mainstem riverine habitat and reconnect associated floodplain habitat in the South Fork (SF) Nooksack River Fish Camp Reach (RM 7.3-9.7), near Acme, in Whatcom County. Restoration involves construction of 9 large log jams, 17 small log jams, and 18 woody bank structures, as well as removal of over 4500 ft of riprap bank hardening and 3000 ft of revetment. The goal of the project is to restore upstream migration, holding, spawning and rearing habitat to improve abundance and productivity of SF Nooksack Early Chinook, which is essential for recovery of the ESA-listed Puget Sound Chinook ESU. In summer 2021, over 2500 Chinook died on the spawning grounds before they could spawn due to high temperatures, low flows and degraded habitat. The Fish Camp reach overlaps a zone of groundwater discharge and is one of the few remaining high priority areas in the lower SF for which restoration is needed. It is heavily used by Chinook returning to the Skookum hatchery upstream. The project will reduce the risk of a future Chinook mortality event by forming deep, complex pools that will provide temperature refuge for holding and rearing Chinook. Restoration will also benefit ESA-listed steelhead and bull trout; coho, chum, riverine sockeye, and pink salmon; and cutthroat trout. The project builds on previous design work funded by the SRFB and represents an important opportunity to integrate habitat restoration and flood risk reduction.
