Lower Clackamas Kipling Rock Channel Enhancements
Project Overview
Basics
Lower Clackamas Kipling Rock Channel Enhancements
Proposal
Kipling Rock is located on the mainstem Clackamas just upstream from Clear Creek which is an important production area foe Coho, Steelhead, Spring Chinook and Pacific Lamprey. The project would reconnect a side channel, enhance floodplain, and build large wood structures. Work would occur on both the banks of the mainstem as well as on islands in the channel.

Focal Species
Focal Species
Additional side channel habitat would add habitat for multiple life stages. Large wood would add structure and native plantings would lower temperature, increase woody material and help prevent erosion.

Notes
| 12/05/2017 2:08 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)- 1/4 to 1/2 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. |
