One side channel network flows from the mainstem Skokomish to the old Weaver Creek channel at the \u201Cdownstream\u201D end of the plug and flows out the historic Weaver Creek channel.

Enviornmental Coalition of South Seattle (ECSS) will work closely with a variety of diverse business owners to provide them with a spill kit, spill plan, on-site signage, and a drainage map tailored to their property. ECOSS\u2019 outreach team also will provide onsite language interpretation in multiple languages (Spanish, Vietnamese, Korean, Somali, among many others) to assist managers and staff who may not speak English as their first language. This gives business owners and their employees the means and supplies to respond to spills on site thereby preventing pollution and often costly associated clean up costs. This work will be accomplished in close coordination with the Local Source Control Program operated by the Dept of Ecology.","NEPAward":"Stewardship Lead Organization","OwnerOrganizationName":"ECOSS","OwnerOrganizationType":"Not for Profit / Nonprofit","PrimaryContactPerson":"Alex Mitchell","NEPInvestmentType":"NEP Project","NEPActivityStage":"Completed","ContractStartYear":2013,"CompletionYear":2015,"NEPActivityLocationLatitude":47.53518,"NEPActivityLocationLongitude":-122.326734,"ActivityLocationNotes":null,"GeographicScope":"Local","ExternalWebsiteUrl":"https://www.ecoss.org/spill_kits.html","NEPFundedActivityBudgetNote":null,"ActivityTypes":"Incentives","PartnerOrganizations":null,"RelatedNEPActivities":null,"VitalSigns":"Freshwater, Marine Water, Orcas, Salmon, Shellfish Beds","AA2022Strategies":null,"AA2022Actions":null,"AA2022DesiredOutcomes":null,"RegionalPriorityApproaches":null,"Counties":"King","LeadEntities":"Duwamish - Green","LocalAreas":"Snohomish / Stillaguamish, South Central, South Sound","LegislativeDistricts":"Legislative District 34","AreasOfInterest":"Stormwater","LastUpdatedDate":"2026-04-15T21:42:22.323Z","RelatedLinks":null},{"NEPActivityID":213,"ActivityID":"STE_0027","NEPActivityName":"Regional Citizen Action Training School","NEPActivityDescription":"Train and enable residents to effectively engage in public processes and to affect the system in productive ways.","NEPAward":"Stewardship Lead Organization","OwnerOrganizationName":"Nooksack Salmon Enhancement Association","OwnerOrganizationType":"Not for Profit / Nonprofit","PrimaryContactPerson":"Alex Mitchell","NEPInvestmentType":"NEP Project","NEPActivityStage":"Completed","ContractStartYear":2013,"CompletionYear":2015,"NEPActivityLocationLatitude":48.762798,"NEPActivityLocationLongitude":-122.44164,"ActivityLocationNotes":null,"GeographicScope":"Puget Sound Region","ExternalWebsiteUrl":"https://www.pugetsoundcats.org","NEPFundedActivityBudgetNote":null,"ActivityTypes":"Capacity Building and Coordination","PartnerOrganizations":null,"RelatedNEPActivities":null,"VitalSigns":"Beaches and Marine Vegetation, Estuaries, Forage Fish, Forests and Wetlands, Freshwater, Marine Water, Orcas, Outdoor Activity, Salmon, Shellfish Beds, Streams and Floodplains, Toxics in Aquatic Life","AA2022Strategies":null,"AA2022Actions":null,"AA2022DesiredOutcomes":null,"RegionalPriorityApproaches":null,"Counties":"Clallam, Island, Jefferson, King, Kitsap, Lewis, Mason, Pierce, San Juan, Skagit, Snohomish, Thurston, Whatcom","LeadEntities":"Cedar - Sammamish, Deschutes, Duwamish - Green, Hood Canal, Island, Kennedy - Goldsborough, Nisqually, Nooksack, North Olympic Peninsula, Pierce, San Juan, Skagit, Snohomish, Stillaguamish, West Sound","LocalAreas":"Hood Canal, Island, Puyallup / White, San Juan, Skagit / Samish, Snohomish / Stillaguamish, South Central, South Sound, Strait of Juan de Fuca, West Sound, Whatcom","LegislativeDistricts":"Legislative District 01, Legislative District 02, Legislative District 05, Legislative District 10, Legislative District 11, Legislative District 12, Legislative District 20, Legislative District 21, Legislative District 22, Legislative District 23, Legislative District 24, Legislative District 25, Legislative District 26, Legislative District 27, Legislative District 28, Legislative District 29, Legislative District 30, Legislative District 31, Legislative District 32, Legislative District 33, Legislative District 34, Legislative District 35, Legislative District 36, Legislative District 37, Legislative District 38, Legislative District 39, Legislative District 40, Legislative District 41, Legislative District 42, Legislative District 43, Legislative District 44, Legislative District 45, Legislative District 46, Legislative District 47, Legislative District 48","AreasOfInterest":"ClimateChange , Habitat, OceanAcidification, Stormwater","LastUpdatedDate":"2026-04-15T21:42:22.323Z","RelatedLinks":null},{"NEPActivityID":214,"ActivityID":"STE_0026","NEPActivityName":"Targeted Awareness Grant - Camano","NEPActivityDescription":"The purpose of this agreement is to help raise awareness about the current health of Puget Sound and its direct link to local values (like jobs, food sources and recreation) in and around Camano Island.

This project would use the results of a recently-completed GIS mapping project to select sensitive aquatic sites near railroads for environmental testing to determine if elevated levels of PAHs are present. The data could also be used to help establish baseline conditions near railroads prior to future traffic expansion related to coal or petroleum transport.

Dissolved oxygen modeling efforts are indicating that sediment-water interactions strongly influence primary productivity, particularly in shallow embayments. These regions are where human impacts on dissolved oxygen could be greatest. The current efforts prescribe sediment oxygen demand and nutrient releases and adjust these fluxes based on alternative external loading. Where nutrient loads decrease, the sediment-water interactions also weaken. The relationship is externally specified, but a sediment diagenesis component would couple those fluxes to changes in external loading. A sediment diagenesis model would allow us to understand the timing of sediment interactions. This could improve model performance through better seasonal variability, and it would allow us to understand how differences in winter discharges carryover to summer dissolved oxygen impacts.","NEPAward":"Toxics and Nutrients Lead Organization","OwnerOrganizationName":"Washington State Department of Ecology","OwnerOrganizationType":"State","PrimaryContactPerson":"Lola Flores","NEPInvestmentType":"NEP Project","NEPActivityStage":"Completed","ContractStartYear":2013,"CompletionYear":2015,"NEPActivityLocationLatitude":48.07507,"NEPActivityLocationLongitude":-123.05288,"ActivityLocationNotes":null,"GeographicScope":"Puget Sound Region","ExternalWebsiteUrl":null,"NEPFundedActivityBudgetNote":null,"ActivityTypes":"Research","PartnerOrganizations":null,"RelatedNEPActivities":null,"VitalSigns":"Freshwater, Marine Water, Shellfish Beds","AA2022Strategies":null,"AA2022Actions":null,"AA2022DesiredOutcomes":null,"RegionalPriorityApproaches":null,"Counties":"Clallam, Island, Jefferson, King, Kitsap, Lewis, Mason, Pierce, San Juan, Skagit, Snohomish, Thurston, Whatcom","LeadEntities":"Cedar -

Lake Whatcom supplies drinking water to approximately 100,000 residents in the Bellingham area. Elevated levels of phosphorus have caused Lake Whatcom to be placed on Washington State\u0027s 303(d) listing as an impaired waterbody. This project will treat stormwater runoff to reduce phosphorus loading to Lake Whatcom. It is a priority capital project in Whatcom County\u0027s Lake Whatcom Comprehensive Stormwater Plan and a priority sub-basin due to phosphorus loading from residential development. \n\nThe project construction site is in a residential lot recently purchased by the City of Bellingham on Northshore Drive. This location receives runoff from approximately 76 acres of residential, landscaped, and forested area. The existing stormwater drainage in this area consists of roadside ditches along Toad Lake Road and Academy Road that discharge to an unnamed creek/ditch, and then flows to Lake Whatcom. The County and the City wish to jointly implement a stormwater treatment system on the acquired lot to treat runoff, primarily targeting phosphorus removal. The project is expected to remove approximately 84% of current phosphorus load entering the lake from this source.","NEPAward":"Toxics and Nutrients Lead Organization","OwnerOrganizationName":"Whatcom County","OwnerOrganizationType":"County","PrimaryContactPerson":"Lola Flores","NEPInvestmentType":"NEP Project","NEPActivityStage":"Completed","ContractStartYear":2015,"CompletionYear":2017,"NEPActivityLocationLatitude":48.767784,"NEPActivityLocationLongitude":-122.402292,"ActivityLocationNotes":null,"GeographicScope":"Local","ExternalWebsiteUrl":null,"NEPFundedActivityBudgetNote":null,"ActivityTypes":"Ecosystem Restoration Implementation","PartnerOrganizations":null,"RelatedNEPActivities":null,"VitalSigns":"Freshwater, Marine Water, Shellfish Beds","AA2022Strategies":null,"AA2022Actions":null,"AA2022DesiredOutcomes":null,"RegionalPriorityApproaches":null,"Counties":"Whatcom","LeadEntities":"Nooksack","LocalAreas":"Whatcom","LegislativeDistricts":"Legislative District 40","AreasOfInterest":"Stormwater","LastUpdatedDate":"2026-04-15T21:48:28.31Z","RelatedLinks":null},{"NEPActivityID":1038,"ActivityID":"TOX_0063","NEPActivityName":"Lake Symington and Big Beef Creek Pollution Identification and Correction (PIC) Program","NEPActivityDescription":"This project will assess nutrient levels in Lake William Symington and along Big Beef Creek which drains to Hood Canal 2 shellfish growing area in Kitsap County.

This project will: 1) develop preliminary designs for removing barriers and improving flow and water quality between the lower Nooksack River, Kwina Slough, Smuggler\u2019s Slough, and Lummi Bay 2) maintain or remove beaver dams and install up to five beaver deceivers 3) re-plant a 17.63-acre riparian buffer along 2.35 miles of slough channels; and 4) analyze the effectiveness of BMPs to address water quality problems. Improved connectivity and restored riparian vegetation will help reduce water temperature, increase dissolved oxygen, and reduce bacteria.\nThe goal of the Porter Creek Alluvial Fan Restoration Project is to restore salmonid spawning, rearing and holding habitat in order to recover self-sustaining salmonid runs by addressing limiting factors of low flow quantity, temperature, channel stability, and habitat diversity and quantity. This project will include final design and removal of a 280-foot section of artificial berm to restore 11 acres of alluvial fan in Porter Creek in order to increase groundwater storage, increase cool water baseflow, and improve habitat and thermal refuge. Large wood will be installed to add roughness, prevent further incision, and encourage sediment storage and channel formation and stability. Spawning substrate will be replenished in the channel using screened onsite berm material. This project will also include monitoring of habitat, geomorphic processes, temperature and groundwater in the project area and in adjacent restoration projects to assess effectiveness.","NEPAward":"Northwest Indian Fisheries Commission","OwnerOrganizationName":"Lummi Nation","OwnerOrganizationType":"Tribal","PrimaryContactPerson":"Caitlyn O\u0027Connor","NEPInvestmentType":"NEP Project","NEPActivityStage":"Completed","ContractStartYear":2019,"CompletionYear":2025,"NEPActivityLocationLatitude":48.794,"NEPActivityLocationLongitude":-122.117,"ActivityLocationNotes":null,"GeographicScope":"Local","ExternalWebsiteUrl":"http://psp.nwifc.org/psp/tribal-project-updates/lummi-nation/","NEPFundedActivityBudgetNote":null,"ActivityTypes":"Acquisition and Easements, Ecosystem Restoration Implementation, Project Planning and Design, Species Management","PartnerOrganizations":null,"RelatedNEPActivities":null,"VitalSigns":"Estuaries, Freshwater, Salmon, Shellfish Beds, Streams and Floodplains","AA2022Strategies":"3: Healthy Shorelines, 4: Riparian Areas, 5: Floodplains \u0026 Estuaries, 6: Fish Passage Barriers, 7: Freshwater Availability, 8: Toxic Chemical Pollution","AA2022Actions":"Establish and implement science-based riparian protection, restoration, and management policies that result in a minimum \u20181 Site Potential Tree Height\u2019 forested riparian area standard.

Recently, Thornton Creek (Seattle) was restored by installing hyporheic design elements (HDEs) into the creek bed. These HDEs, used to improve water quality and habitat, accomplish in-stream treatment by creating preferential flow paths for water in the shallow subsurface. Thus, instead of flowing on the surface, a substantial fraction of water also travels through the creek bed which removes toxic pollutants, nutrients and carbon. However, the treatment performance and effectiveness of HDEs for habitat and water quality improvement remains poorly defined. HDEs are highly innovative options that might be used more widely regionally (they do not require land purchases and have small footprints), so their potential treatment performance requires more detailed assessment, especially for transportation-related chemicals with known acute and sublethal toxicity.","NEPAward":"Stormwater Strategic Initiative Lead","OwnerOrganizationName":"University of Washington Tacoma","OwnerOrganizationType":"State Institute of Higher Learning","PrimaryContactPerson":"Michelle Myers","NEPInvestmentType":"NEP Project","NEPActivityStage":"Completed","ContractStartYear":2020,"CompletionYear":2022,"NEPActivityLocationLatitude":47.701,"NEPActivityLocationLongitude":-122.307,"ActivityLocationNotes":"Site specific","GeographicScope":"Local","ExternalWebsiteUrl":"https://pspwa.box.com/s/76c3ts24ab87c98k7yawfv1mcsvpk51z","NEPFundedActivityBudgetNote":null,"ActivityTypes":"Research","PartnerOrganizations":"Seattle Public Utilities, University of Washington","RelatedNEPActivities":null,"VitalSigns":"Toxics in Aquatic Life","AA2022Strategies":null,"AA2022Actions":null,"AA2022DesiredOutcomes":null,"RegionalPriorityApproaches":"TIF2.1: Address stormwater treatment.","Counties":"King, Pierce","LeadEntities":"Cedar - Sammamish, Duwamish - Green, West Sound","LocalAreas":"South Central","LegislativeDistricts":"Legislative District 46","AreasOfInterest":null,"LastUpdatedDate":"2026-04-15T21:45:00.693Z","RelatedLinks":null},{"NEPActivityID":1279,"ActivityID":"SWSIL NTA_2018-0704","NEPActivityName":"Optimizing Green Stormwater Infrastructure (GSI) Placement in South Puget Sound","NEPActivityDescription":"We will develop a ridge-to-stream, landscape-level method to optimizing GSI placement.

Additionally, via detection of co-contaminants with non-target high resolution mass spectrometry, we believe that we can also identify and track chemical signatures specific to different sources. Thus, for both known and novel pollutants and to enable effective chemical management, we likely can identify which sources contribute these chemicals to the aquatic environment and their relative loadings.","NEPAward":"Stormwater Strategic Initiative Lead","OwnerOrganizationName":"University of Washington Tacoma","OwnerOrganizationType":"State Institute of Higher Learning","PrimaryContactPerson":"Michelle Myers","NEPInvestmentType":"NEP Project","NEPActivityStage":"Completed","ContractStartYear":2020,"CompletionYear":2023,"NEPActivityLocationLatitude":47.2605,"NEPActivityLocationLongitude":-122.435,"ActivityLocationNotes":"Non site-specific","GeographicScope":"Puget Sound Region","ExternalWebsiteUrl":"https://pspwa.box.com/s/8sh5anjcpy5q5do3ohcjmhu33yt6ow2w","NEPFundedActivityBudgetNote":null,"ActivityTypes":"Research","PartnerOrganizations":"University of Washington","RelatedNEPActivities":null,"VitalSigns":"Toxics in Aquatic Life","AA2022Strategies":null,"AA2022Actions":null,"AA2022DesiredOutcomes":null,"RegionalPriorityApproaches":"TIF2.1: Address stormwater treatment.","Counties":"Clallam, Island, Jefferson, King, Kitsap, Lewis, Mason, Pierce, San Juan, Skagit, Snohomish, Thurston, Whatcom","LeadEntities":"Cedar - Sammamish, Deschutes, Duwamish - Green, Hood Canal, Island, Kennedy - Goldsborough, Nisqually, Nooksack, North Olympic Peninsula, Pierce, San Juan, Skagit, Snohomish, Stillaguamish, West Sound","LocalAreas":"Hood Canal, Island, Puyallup / White, San Juan, Skagit / Samish, Snohomish / Stillaguamish, South Central, South Sound, Strait of Juan de Fuca, West Sound, Whatcom","LegislativeDistricts":"Legislative District 01, Legislative District 02, Legislative District 05, Legislative District 10, Legislative District 11, Legislative District 12, Legislative District 20, Legislative District 21, Legislative District 22, Legislative District 23, Legislative District 24, Legislative District 25, Legislative District 26, Legislative District 27, Legislative District 28, Legislative District 29, Legislative District 30, Legislative District 31, Legislative District 32, Legislative District 33, Legislative District 34, Legislative District 35, Legislative District 36, Legislative District 37, Legislative District 38, Legislative District 39, Legislative District 40, Legislative District 41, Legislative District 42, Legislative District 43, Legislative District 44, Legislative District 45, Legislative District 46, Legislative District 47, Legislative District 48","AreasOfInterest":null,"LastUpdatedDate":"2026-04-15T21:45:01.293Z","RelatedLinks":null},{"NEPActivityID":1303,"ActivityID":"SWSIL NTA_2018-0491","NEPActivityName":"Increasing regulatory effectiveness by closing loopholes (exemptions) in state and local regulations","NEPActivityDescription":"Describe common exemptions in structure and detail.

This work will help to define how tire rubber chemicals are degrading water quality and contributing toxicity in small, tribally prioritized watersheds across the South Sound. Relative to the greater Seattle area, very little monitoring of roadway runoff, 6PPDQ, and related CECs has occurred in the South Sound although tribal partners have consistently observed stormwater-linked mortality events in coho salmon in several of the watersheds we are proposing to study.

Key project partners include Thurston County and the cities of Olympia, Tumwater, and Lacey (Project Partners). The region has largely been developed with legacy stormwater management systems that lack treatment and flow control and do not meet current stormwater management regulations. Redevelopment requirements are inadequate to address these impacts in a timely way or in the most impactful locations. As a result, receiving waters would benefit from a strategic approach to addressing flow control and water quality treatment retrofits in existing development. The region is experiencing substantial growth with populations projected to continue this trend over the next 30 years. With this comes increased pressure on local receiving waters (rivers, streams, wetlands, and Puget Sound) from heavier pollutant loads carried by roadway runoff causing impacts to aquatic habitat, fish, shellfish, and other wildlife populations, public health, and human well-being. Unfortunately, regional stormwater planning resources and staff capacity have not increased proportionately to meet these needs and challenges. The goal of this project is to better prepare local jurisdictions in the South Puget Sound Region for planning and prioritizing impactful, cost-effective roadway and regional stormwater retrofit projects to be funded and implemented as part of the greater Puget Sound recovery effort. The prioritization framework resulting from this project will use existing data that can be updated over time to help regional stormwater staff identify roadway pollution \u2018hotspots,\u2019 ensure projects are integrated with local salmon and ecosystem recovery priorities and develop future treatment projects to minimize the amount of harmful toxins that enter local receiving waters and Puget Sound in the near and long term.","NEPAward":"Stormwater Strategic Initiative Lead","OwnerOrganizationName":"Thurston Regional Planning Council","OwnerOrganizationType":"Other","PrimaryContactPerson":"Michelle Myers","NEPInvestmentType":"NEP Project","NEPActivityStage":"Implementation","ContractStartYear":2023,"CompletionYear":null,"NEPActivityLocationLatitude":47.03642,"NEPActivityLocationLongitude":-122.7997,"ActivityLocationNotes":"Office","GeographicScope":"Sub-Regional","ExternalWebsiteUrl":"https://pspwa.box.com/s/k2q12uo1rn2yqrqz5g78vzuj4yafbf5e","NEPFundedActivityBudgetNote":null,"ActivityTypes":"Ecosystem Recovery Planning","PartnerOrganizations":"City of Olympia, Thurston County","RelatedNEPActivities":null,"VitalSigns":"Freshwater","AA2022Strategies":"10: Stormwater Runoff \u0026 Legacy Contamination","AA2022Actions":"Find and fix toxic hotspots (information, planning, education, funding, and implementation).

The retrofit plan developed through this proposal will also be incorporated in an updated stormwater comprehensive plan currently scheduled for development in 2024. Stormwater runoff contains toxic contaminants and excess sediment that can enter rivers, streams, and bays. The polluted runoff degrades water quality and fish survivability. Coho salmon are especially impacted by pollution from roadway runoff. Goldsborough Creek is the most productive Coho system in southern Puget Sound, and it runs directly through the City of Shelton with known direct stormwater discharge points. Many successful restoration efforts have been implemented in this watershed, but salmon are still at risk due to municipal stormwater runoff. Shelton Creek is another salmon-bearing stream that flows through downtown Shelton. Over the past two decades, coho salmon have served as a particularly important sentinel species for stormwater-driven impacts on surface water quality. This is exemplified by the recurring and premature deaths of adult coho when they return each autumn to spawn in urban watersheds (Scholz et al., 2011). Prior to dying, affected fish show a progression of behavioral symptoms including circular surface swimming and gaping, a loss of equilibrium, and immobility\u0022. https://salishsearestoration.org/wiki/Coho_Mortality_from_Road_Stormwater\u0022","NEPAward":"Stormwater Strategic Initiative Lead","OwnerOrganizationName":"Mason Conservation District","OwnerOrganizationType":"Special District","PrimaryContactPerson":"Michelle Myers","NEPInvestmentType":"NEP Project","NEPActivityStage":"Implementation","ContractStartYear":2023,"CompletionYear":null,"NEPActivityLocationLatitude":47.25055,"NEPActivityLocationLongitude":-123.15107,"ActivityLocationNotes":"Mason County Office","GeographicScope":"Local","ExternalWebsiteUrl":null,"NEPFundedActivityBudgetNote":null,"ActivityTypes":"Ecosystem Recovery Planning","PartnerOrganizations":"City of Shelton","RelatedNEPActivities":null,"VitalSigns":"Freshwater","AA2022Strategies":"10: Stormwater Runoff \u0026 Legacy Contamination","AA2022Actions":"Find and fix toxic hotspots (information, planning, education, funding, and implementation).

This because stormwater from disparate sources is difficult to track as it collects and concentrates pollution (e.g., COCs associated with urbanization). Changing precipitation patterns increase the need for informed flooding and infrastructure protection planning. Though effective solutions exist, the billion-dollar question remains: how much stormwater intervention is needed and where to prioritize? Jurisdictions, utilities, and agencies spend significant public funds developing stormwater plans, leaving fewer resources for implementation. This is especially true for smaller Phase II jurisdictions without robust stormwater management departments. Through an expert-facilitated Design Thinking process, TNC learned about four major barriers to developing science-based management plans: (1) data layer acquisition; (2) slow and computationally intense hydrology modeling; (3) pollution-loading data too coarse to inform decisions; and (4) difficulty communicating with stakeholders, rate payers, and regional leaders by whom they are held accountable their planning choices. TNC partnered with Geosyntec Consultants LLC and Cheva Consulting, with input from UW EarthLab Climate Impacts Group (CIG), Washington Department of Fish \u0026 Wildlife, and NOAA Office of Coastal Management, to tackle these obstacles by mapping runoff and pollution loading at previously unattainable scales. The Stormwater Heatmap is a science-based tool designed to help stormwater practitioners tell stories using compelling visuals, reduce planning costs, and take targeted action on runoff and pollution hotspots by strategically siting infrastructure improvements. TNC launched V1.0 in March 2022 to increase the pace and scale of stormwater intervention projects so that people and nature can thrive.","NEPAward":"Stormwater Strategic Initiative Lead","OwnerOrganizationName":"The Nature Conservancy","OwnerOrganizationType":"Not for Profit / Nonprofit","PrimaryContactPerson":"Michelle Myers","NEPInvestmentType":"NEP Project","NEPActivityStage":"Implementation","ContractStartYear":2023,"CompletionYear":null,"NEPActivityLocationLatitude":47.61952,"NEPActivityLocationLongitude":-122.34977,"ActivityLocationNotes":"Non site specific - TNC seattle office","GeographicScope":"Puget Sound Region","ExternalWebsiteUrl":"https://pspwa.box.com/s/dsj8bjmfgjoil8glmkaa4cwurksjgln5","NEPFundedActivityBudgetNote":null,"ActivityTypes":"Ecosystem Recovery Planning","PartnerOrganizations":null,"RelatedNEPActivities":null,"VitalSigns":"Freshwater","AA2022Strategies":"10: Stormwater Runoff \u0026 Legacy Contamination","AA2022Actions":"Find and fix toxic hotspots (information, planning, education, funding, and implementation).

This improvement was targeted towards fecal bacteria (FB) exposure assessment for the nearshore shellfish bed environments in the Salish Sea. This work was conducted in collaboration with Washington State Department of Health (DOH) and multiple stakeholders in support of U.S. EPA\u2019s Pollution Identification and Correction (PIC) Program. The study titled \u201CWhatcom and Skagit County Shellfish Beds Fecal Coliform Bacteria Exposure Assessment\u201D not only provided the needed information on the fate and transport of fecal bacteria (FB) contamination, but also allowed the development of SSM-FB module and standardization of the model setup and application procedures. This work which was conducted at three PIC Program priority sites - Samish Bay, Portage Bay, and Drayton Harbor, demonstrated the value of modeling-based assessment to guide shellfish bed operations, and manage exposure risk.  As a logical next step, the project Enhanced SSM-Fecal Bacteria Modeling to Support Shellfish Growing Area Management was proposed for assessments at other high priority sites within the Salish Sea to be selected in consultation with DOH. The proposed effort will include site-specific refinement of the Salish Sea Model at 6 priority sites selected by DOH, circulation and flushing analysis, and FB simulation with a focus on the shellfish growing areas. Preliminary list of six new high priority sites includes: a) Skagit Bay, b) Dyes Inlet, c) Dungeness Bay, d) Annas Bay, e) Budd Inlet, and f) Commencement Bay.

Successful reduction of fecal pollution from sewage systems will improve the effectiveness of the sewage systems, protect public health, and contribute to maintaining approved and increasing conditionally approved harvestable shellfish acres throughout the shellfish growing areas mentioned above and Puget Sound. Our proposal will support our local OSS management program implementation by achieving the following objectives: Providing assurance of our OSS regulations by notifying property owners when they are tardy with their required OSS maintenance inspections. Offering eligible property owners rebate incentives when they complete Septics 101 education course and their required OSS maintenance inspection. When maintenance inspections identify deficiencies, we follow up with property owners to ensure that they correct OSS system deficiencies and fix system failures. Our proposal will support OSS owner access to financial assistance options for their maintenance inspections and any necessary repairs, replacements, or upgrades by achieving the following objectives: Ensure that economically disadvantaged OSS owners who meet low-income criteria receive financial support via vouchers to complete the required OSS maintenance inspections. Ensure that all OSS owners have access to low interest loan options such as Craft 3 to fund necessary system repairs, replacements, or upgrades to sewer. Develop and implement a grant program to aid low-income eligible OSS owners with necessary funding for completing repairs or replacements of their failing OSS systems. This program will aid low-income property owners that cannot qualify for other traditional lending options such as Craft 3. This will ensure sewage is adequately treated and shellfish beds are not impacted by sewage discharge from failing sewage systems. Grant funding for OSS repair and replacement will be prioritized in the Samish Bay watershed to help maintain the status of the 4,044 acres of shellfish beds. Funding will also be prioritized within Padilla Bay to ensure we sustain the 151 acres of shellfish beds. The third area of emphasis will be improving the South Skagit Bay area with 2,260 acres of threatened shellfish beds and the 431 acres of shellfish beds located in North Skagit Bay. To better engage with English as a second language community members, our proposal also intends to: Revise and update our Septics 101 educational course and related outreach material which is currently only available in English. We will develop a Spanish version of the course and related outreach material. Spanish speakers make up approximately 6 percent of our population and represent our second largest lingual group within Skagit County. Developing a Spanish version of our Septics 101 will reduce a significant language barrier for our Spanish speakers so they can access important OSS educational information. OSS owners also need to complete the training to be eligible for the rebate program. Completing the training in the language they prefer will provide easier access to the educational information and the rebate which offsets some of the cost of the required system maintenance. The proposed objectives detailed above will all result in the following key outcomes: Homeowners will increase their knowledge and understanding of proper OSS operation and maintenance throughout the Shellfish Protection District. The financial incentives will increase the percentage of septic system owners who perform the necessary maintenance, complete repairs, and ensure that failures are identified and corrected in a timely manner.

The causes for decreased kelp are not well understood. Long-term monitoring of floating kelp beds does not include some areas that may support more persistent kelp, notably Gig Harbor/southern Vashon, northern Vashon/Blake Island, Elliott Bay, and northern and southern shorelines of Admiralty Inlet. This project would work with Washington Department of Natural Resources (WDNR) to conduct surveys of floating kelp beds using unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), or drone, technology that is demonstrated to map kelp canopies efficiently and at very high resolutions (Berry and Cowdrey 2021). Drone surveys of floating kelp beds will allow for an expansion of the survey footprint in the CPS region. Surveys would be conducted during low-tide and slack current windows in the areas where data gaps exist.

Cherry Creek is a particularly important resource for native salmonids, providing spawning and rearing habitat for at least 5 species. Of particular importance is the Coho population on Cherry Creek, which is among the largest Coho producing creeks in the watershed. \nThe Tribe\u2019s Restoration Program proposes to remove invasive blackberry and install a 100ft wide riparian buffer on private property along the lower portion of Cherry Creek, where historic land use has resulted in an oversimplified channel and little to no riparian canopy. \n\nRassmussen Creek Evaluation \u0026 Maintenance\n In 2012, the Snoqualmie Tribe\u2019s ENR Department collaborated with Cherry Valley Dairy to remove a fish passage barrier, install large wood, and plant a riparian buffer along Rassmussen Creek, a salmon bearing tributary to Cherry Creek. \nMore than a decade on from the initial project, the restored area has grown in, and now appears to provide a significant vegetated buffer from Rassmussen Creek. We propose to conduct a detailed evaluation of the project, documenting things like canopy cover, air and water temperature, native and invasive cover, and use by spawning and juvenile salmon. These data will be used to evaluate effectiveness of particular restoration strategies and inform future work. In addition to monitoring, light maintenance of the riparian corridor is proposed.\n\nZackuse Creek Kokanee passage\nBetween 2018 and 2023, the Snoqualmie Tribe\u2019s Restoration Program worked with partners to restore fish passage for highly imperiled Lake Sammamish kokanee in Zackuse Creek, a Lake Sammamish tributary. This project resulted in fish passage and kokanee spawning runs in 2021 and 2023, for the first time in approximately 40 years.\nWe propose to continue monitoring of kokanee spawners, as various strategies for boosting kokanee production are currently underway, and data are critically needed. We also propose to maintain a remote stream incubator containing kokanee eggs, maintain previously restored area against re-invasion by weeds, and conduct a feasibility study to determine whether the next upstream fish passage barrier can be removed. \n\nKimball Creek Monitoring \u0026 Maintenance\nKimball Creek is a major Snoqualmie River tributary that joins the river just above Snoqualmie Falls. This creek drains parts of the Snoqualmie Tribe Reservation as well as the surrounding uplands, and has been the subject of extensive work from the Snoqualmie Tribe over the years. \nIn 2015, the Tribe began a project to restore several parcels in private ownership on Kimball Creek, outside of the City of Snoqualmie. This project was partially funded through an EPA Tribal Implementation Award administered by NWIFC, along with other funders. Almost a decade on from this initial project, significant riparian habitat gains have been made, but additional maintenance is needed to ensure progress is not eroded. We propose to continue maintain and monitoring this site, including supplemental installation of additional native plants.\n\nSnoqualmie Forks Gravel Bar enhancement\nIn the 3-Forks reach of the Snoqualmie River (located at the confluence of the North, Middle, and South Forks of the Snoqualmie) significant geomorphic changes have occurred over the past 15-20 years. The river in this area has drastically widened and formed extensive gravel bars from deposition of alluvial sediments.

The focus of this effort is on city, county, and private culverts and other barriers for which a recent assessment has not been completed. Based on the barrier assessment, a prioritization for removal of fish barriers will be developed in these focal watersheds that will integrate all ownerships (e.g., State, local government, private, etc.) and impacts to multiple salmonid species (particularly chum, coho, and ESA-listed steelhead). This project will expand on the existing fish passage assessment project funded under FY-19 that uses WDFW methods (2019) to assess fish passage status at culverts and other structures in East Kitsap. Far more passage structures have been encountered and assessed than initially identified. From September 2022 through January 2024, Suquamish staff have assessed approximately 300 fish passage structures in about 10 independent watersheds of East Kitsap. \nProject 2: Bulkhead Removal Feasibility and Design\nThis project would work with a willing shoreline landowner to provide the feasibility and design phases for removal of about 100 feet of shoreline armor (including some creosote material) and restoration of the adjacent upper beach and shoreline vegetation located about 0.5 miles northwest of Point Bolin. The Tribe would partner with the Kitsap County Shore Friendly Program and allocate most of the funding to Kitsap County to contract for engineering feasibility and design. The project site is immediately east of an intact salt marsh on tribal land and herring and surf smelt spawning are documented along this shoreline. The project would benefit forage fish spawning and juvenile chinook, chum and other nearshore migratory salmon habitat.\nProject 3: Gorst Creek Fish Passage and Habitat Restoration Feasibility and Design\nThis project will provide a feasibility (alternatives analysis) and design for addressing fish passage barriers and stream channel, floodplain, and riparian restoration on Gorst Creek within approximately 1,000 feet of stream adjacent to the Suquamish Tribe\u2019s Gorst Creek rearing facility. The project would benefit multiple salmonid species including ESA-listed steelhead and chinook, coho, and chum. The Tribe would partner with the City of Bremerton with most of the funding allocated to this project used to contract with an engineering firm to develop feasibility and design alternatives. Remaining funds would support tribal staff project management, oversight, and review of deliverables. \nProject 4: Cowling Creek Preserve Salmon Habitat Restoration Feasibility and Design\nThis project would develop a salmon habitat restoration feasibility and design on tribal and Great Peninsula Conservancy (GPC) properties that make up the Cowling Creek Preserve. The Tribe would partner with GPC in development of this project. At least four fish passage barrier structures and multiple stream habitat restoration opportunities exist on the Preserve along both Cowling Creek and the North Fork of Cowling Creek, a combined 3,000 feet of stream. The project would benefit multiple salmonid species including ESA-listed steelhead, coho, and chum. The Tribe would contract with an engineering firm to develop the feasibility and restoration designs. Improving fish passage and habitat function on the Preserve would potentially leverage future efforts by Kitsap County to improve fish passage immediately downstream of the Preserve at the mouth of both streams by removing fish barrier culverts at Miller Bay Road, and at a fish passage barrier culvert at Columbia Street upstream of the Preserve.","NEPAward":"Northwest Indian Fisheries Commission","OwnerOrganizationName":"Suquamish Tribe","OwnerOrganizationType":"Tribal","PrimaryContactPerson":"Caitlyn O\u0027Connor","NEPInvestmentType":"NEP Project","NEPActivityStage":"Implementation","ContractStartYear":2023,"CompletionYear":null,"NEPActivityLocationLatitude":47.728642,"NEPActivityLocationLongitude":-122.558702,"ActivityLocationNotes":"The location for this project is based in multiple sites.

Despite the obvious economic importance of this species, very little research has been done with regards to the early life stages of Dungeness crab in Puget Sound and even less within the Whidbey Basin region of the Sound. Gaining a better understanding of larval supply and juvenile survival across San Juan and Whidbey Basins could have far-reaching implications for continued successful management of this essential fishery.

The focus will be on protecting shellfish-growing waters in Eld, Totten, the approved portion of Budd Inlet, Dana Passage, Henderson Inlet, and Nisqually Reach. To promote effective OSS operation, maintenance, and prevention of sewage discharges, Thurston County Public Health and Social Services (PHSS) will provide incentives aimed at increasing OSS maintenance actions across all shellfish-growing area watersheds, in accordance with current Thurston County guidelines. These incentives will include riser rebates and small maintenance grants for low-income OSS owners, covering inspections and pumping. Thurston County, located within the Puget Sound, is a leading producer of shellfish in North America, with products exported worldwide. Protecting the water quality in the county\u2019s various inlets is crucial not only for the health and economy of the region but also for the communities connected to the global shellfish trade. Improper septic system maintenance and failures contribute to fecal contamination, and limited financial resources often prevent necessary corrective actions. By offering additional support, we can ensure the health and safety of communities consuming shellfish and further protect the integrity of vital watersheds.

Port Susan Bay is owned and managed by TNC, as well as being partially funded by the Puget Sound Acquisition and Restoration (PSAR) program. This site is highly important as one property has completed restoration actions while two neighboring properties will be restored over the next few years. The dynamics between freshwater and saltwater at this estuary combined with the importance of successfully connecting channels across properties to fully restore ecosystem functions adds a complexity that is unique. The objective of this project is to better understand, through research, GIS analysis, and long-term monitoring, how ecosystems change as a result of restoration projects and how the changes impact salmon populations in similar areas across the Puget Sound.
