Yakama Nation Twisp Horseshoe Habitat Enhancement Project, SEPA 2021-11
Threshold SEPA Determination
Project Summary
This a salmon habitat restoration project consistent with the Upper Columbia Salmon Recovery Plan (UCSRB, 2007) to assist in recovery of native run ESA listed spring Chinook and steelhead stocks. The project seeks to restore mainstem and off channel rearing and spawning habitats used by endangered fish stocks in the Twisp River system and to restore floodplain connectivity and natural processes that create and sustain quality fish habitat. This project was developed under the guidance of priority restoration actions recommended by the Updated Salmon Recovery Plan Biological Strategy (RTT, 2017) and the 2015 Middle Twisp Reach Assessment. Within the Middle Reach Assessment, this reach presented one of the greatest opportunities to recover interactions between the channel, side channels and riparian vegetation creating increased habitat complexity and restoring natural processes that sustain salmon habitat over time.
The primary goals of this project include recreating these large wood structures to recruit cobble and sediments reducing channel downcutting that has been observed in the reach; encouraging the channel into multiple threads and; increasing hydraulic complexity at a range of flows. In addition, these large wood structures will help create and maintain pool habitats with excellent groundwater connectivity providing thermal refuge for rearing juveniles salmonids. Imported Douglas fir logs placed in the mainstem and off channel habitat will emulate natural wood accumulation processes restoring and sustaining habitat conditions for steelhead, spring Chinook and bull trout.
Extensive vegetation restoration of the project site will be done using high clearance 4×4 trucks and small tracked equipment including backhoes and skid-steers. A Temporary Erosion and Sediment Control (TESC) Plan and a Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plan have been created and will be implemented for the project site to ensure protection of the environment.
Project Location:
The project is located in Sections 11, 14, 15 Township 33 N., Range 20 E.W.M. on Twisp River Road approximately 7 1/2 1 miles westerly of the Town of Twisp, WA.
Comments must be submitted in writing to the Okanogan County Office of Planning & Development, 123 5th Ave N Ste. 130, Okanogan, WA 98840, no later than March 3, 2022.
