Salmon Creek
Flow Improvement Project,
SEPA 2023-7
Threshold SEPA Determination
Project Summary
The Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation (CCT) proposes to reduce the infiltration rate within the lower reach of Salmon Creek. After 100 years of being disconnected from the Okanogan River, flow has been reestablished in the lower reach of Salmon Creek. However, this century long period without water has prevented the natural recruitment of course sand and gravel. Since 2020, base flow has been measured in the 2.7 miles of Salmon Creek by the CCT. Surface flow is reduced between 30%-50% within the lower 1.5 miles. At base flow of ~4CFS, this further reduction (~2CFS) shrinks the amount of available rearing habitat and is subject to temperatures exceeding thermal tolerance of native salmonids. To maintain flow within the lower reach of Salmon Creek an investigational deposit of 20 to 40 cubic yards of course sand and gravel is proposed to reduce infiltration rate. To assess the effectiveness of the small particle augmentation, flow monitoring will continue at the same transects as in 2020 and 2021.
Project Location:
The project is located on tax parcel 3326080047. The project is in Section 8, Township 33 N., Range 26E.
