Shale Creek is a low gradient tributary to the Clearwater River on the Olympic Peninsula of Washington State. Shale creek supports populations of Clearwater coho, chinook, and summer steelhead. This project is the third phase of large wood restoration in Shale creek and will treat 1.85 miles of Shale Creek with 318 key pieces of large wood placed by helicopter. Throughout all of the phases, 2.8 miles of Shale creek will have been restored with large wood, 35+ acres of floodplain reengaged and 44 large wood structures placed. This project will have preliminary designs completed through alternative funding sources by May 2024. Funds are requested to complete final design, procure materials, helicopter firm, construction and provide construction oversight (engineering firm and project sponsors). $300,000-$500,000 (exact amount TBD) in leverage funds will be used to help cover materials costs associated with this phase. These funds are being provided by the Quinault Indian Nation (second project sponsor) from federal sources..
