Riverbend Side Channel Enhancement
Project Overview
Basics
Riverbend Side Channel Enhancement
Implementation
The Sieben Creek side channel reconnection project is on private property upstream of Sah-Hah-Lee Golf Course and downstream of the Rock Creek Confluence on the right bank of the Clackamas River. The project focuses on increasing channel complexity and connectivity which is currently inaccessible following the 1996 flood event. Constructing an apex jam will rack material and scour an upstream pool. Habitat structures throughout the channel would add structure, provide cover and initiate scour pools. Alcove enhancements at the downstream end of the project will include habitat structures to provide additional complexity.

Notes
| 12/05/2017 2:43 PM | Zachary Bergen | Project Prioritization: 1.) Focal species affected: - Three or more species 2.) Limiting factors addressed: - Addresses two or more primary and at least one secondary 6e 3. Physical habitat quality: Degraded channel structure and complexity. 6e 4. Physical habitat quality: Degraded floodplain connectivity and function. 6e 1. Physical habitat quality: Degraded riparian areas and large wood recruitment. 3.) Project protection benefits: - Minimal protection from private landowners. 4.) Processed-based restoration -Partial restoration- Project partially addresses restoring natural processes. Restoration actions would include wetland enhancement, riparian restoration, the creation of side channels, invasive species removal, and native plantings. 5.) Threats addressed: -Climate change resiliency- Restoration partially or fully addresses climate change resiliency and the project focuses on key habitats that provide resiliency. - Urbanization/development impacts- Restoration actions partially address habitat and watershed processes associated with current and future watershed urbanization. 6.) Project size and scale: - Stream projects (linear scale)- 1/2 to 3/4 mile in length - Floodplain/ riparian area extent (lateral extent)- Project includes some floodplain/riparian activities. 7.) Project readiness, constraints, and risks: -Project readiness- The project's conceptual design does consider other factors such as constructability and how project effectiveness will be demonstrated. -Project constraints and risks- There are moderate feasibility constraints or risks that may limit overall project success. 8.) Outreach, landowner relationship, and socio-economic benefits: -Unknown if landowners support tours or outreach activities on their properties. |
