North Fork Eagle Creek Fish Habitat Restoration
Project Overview
Basics
North Fork Eagle Creek Fish Habitat Restoration
Planning/Design
Increase physical habitat & complexity to address primary limiting factors [6e(2), (3) & (4)]. Construct at least 41 large wood structures within about 5 miles of the North Fork Eagle (NFEC) & Bear creeks that flow through county, PGE and BLM land. Bear Creek is a tributary of the NFEC. Reactivate flood plains & side channels through placements of some wood structures. A minimum of 300 trees & logs will be used. Remove invasive plants & replant with native trees & shrubs along ½ mile of Bear Creek. Project also is supported by Clackamas County, PGE, BLM, ODFW, Clackamas SWCD, Friends of the Eagle Creek Watershed & forestland owners within the Estacada area. Additional information included.

Financials
Budget
| Comment: | Applied for BLM Title II funds, should know in fall of 2022 if successful. Requested Support (8/28/20) to update Project funding-offset arranged to include the following. In-kind materials / labor contribution, is valued at $258,500. PGE funding clarification: Community Grant through the Oregon Wildlife Foundation. Targeted Funding = $519,387. |

Reported Expenditures
No Expenditures have been reported for this Project.
| Note: | Expenditures will primarily occur in 2023 and 2024. Bureau of Land Management will develop plans and coordinate permit authorizations in 2023. Land-based log structure placements are anticipated to occur during the in-water work period in 2023 and installations of helicopter-placed large wood habitat structures to occur in 2024. See the uploaded document, Estim Costs & schedule for NFEC project-1. |

Focal Species
Focal Species
Improved and increased habitat complexity, which will also provide cover at a range of flows throughout all freshwater life stages.
The addition of large wood to the mainstem will increase useable habitat by providing resting and foraging positions for juveniles and adults. The large wood will help to sort bed materials and increase the retention time of gravels and bed materials in areas that are currently scoured to bedrock
Improved and increased habitat complexity, which will aid in the development of pools and gravel recruitment for spawning.
Improved and increased habitat complexity, which will also provide cover at a range of flows throughout all freshwater life stages.
Project Types
Project Types
This project will implement proven restoration methods that have historically been shown to be feasible, effective & affordable, & possess the biological certainty of a positive outcome for aquatic species, particularly salmonids. Focal species include spring Chinook, coho & winter steelhead along with Pacific lamprey that also will benefit. Restoration includes improving instream habitat complexity, water quality and riparian corridors.
