Ruby Creek FP and Stream Rest.
|
The project site is located on Ruby Creek, a tributary to Blackjack Creek, which outlets to Sinclair Inlet. Kitsap CD will replace two fish blocking culverts with bridges and abandon one culvert crossing, improving fish passage to 3.5 miles of upstream salmon spawning and rearing habitat for Chum, Coho, cutthroat trout and steelhead. 0.25 miles of stream will be enhanced by excavating reed canary grass from the channel which is currently inhibiting fish passage and resulting in juvenile stranding. This passage project also involves installation of LWD, to maintain an open channel. Reed canary grass suppression will be accomplished by excavating and constructing planting mounds, which will allow establishment of native trees and shrubs. This project will reconnect isolated habitats, restore longitudinal connectivity at road crossings, and improve sediment and organic material supply and transport, nutrient cycling, and localized hydrology. It will also improve instream biological processes such as food chain support, sunlight, and detritus. Noxious weed removal and native planting will restore riparian processes of long-term wood recruitment, stream shading, bank and floodplain complexity, and food chain support. This action will also prevent further channel incision and improve habitat through placement of in-channel LWD. It would increase the amount of instream wood to increase hydraulic roughness and help restore channel complexity while riparian forests are developing.
