Description

Chelan County PUD used this funding for the Dryden Fish Enhancement CMZ project, which was a cooperative habitat enhancement project designed to help endangered spring Chinook, endangered summer steelhead trout and other salmonids within the lower Wenatchee River.

The site was mined as part of a gravel pit operation in the 1950s. A dike isolated the property from the river along 1500 feet of riverfront. The project breached a portion of the dike and constructed an inlet structure and a series of inland channels. The inlet itself is an open channel design and is armored with native oversized round rock. Large rock, logs, and rootwads were placed as habitat structures in the channels. Vegetation was planted on the channel banks and all areas disturbed through construction. The project site is owned by WDFW and consists of 8.8 acres of floodplain and riparian shoreline located adjacent to the Wenatchee River.

Project Benefit

The goal of the project is to connect isolated freshwater in-stream habitat to increase the range and distribution of salmon. The objective of the project is to increase access to freshwater in-stream side channels, oxbows, and other channels.
