Description    


Project contributed funds that led to the installation of an arched concrete bridge over Cheeka Creek on the Makah Reservation. The completion of this project marked a major milestone in our Sooes Basin Anadromous Passage project to reestablish stream habitat floodplain connectivity between the Sooes River and its associated floodplain. The concrete bridge replaced an impassable non-functioning culvert. Project funds were also used to regrade bridge approach to ensure that they adhered to engineered specifications.

Project Benefit    


Sooes River limiting factors addressed are loss of tributary spawning habitat due to fish blocking structures and loss of tributary contributions to summer base flows in the Sooes River.

      on-site monitoring was conducted during construction to ensure compliance with the engineering design by Makah and NRCS staff. Makah Fisheries Management will continue to monitor juvenile fish presence above these structures and will conduct both seasonal flow and water quality monitoring at the structure.
