3-D Habitat Enhancement Project

This fish habitat enhancement project recreates habitat that is below historical and potential conditions. A total of 7 logjams were constructed in areas that would naturally accumulate wood, channel migration rates will be slowed while improving fish habitat. Large woody debris (LWD) was partially buried in adjacent banks and it extends out into the active channel. Buried vertical snags are associated with each logjam site to provide stability and increase wood recruitment.

Entiat Stilwaters 3-D Reach Assessment

In 2009, the Yakama Nation  procured field investigations and analyses for fish habitat project alternatives for Reach 3-D of the Entiat River.  The 3-D Reach starts at River Mile (RM)24 and ends at RM 25.  The 3-D reach has been listed as a priority reach by the Bureau of Reclamation's Priority Reach Assessment Analyses.  The Regional Technical Team (RTT) selected priority reaches and drafted priority actions for implementing habitat actions on February 11, 2009 for the Stillwate
