Description

Focus on knotweed control throughout the reach, as well as riparian restoration where possible, especially along the right bank. Explore additional opportunities to reduce the effects of artificial nighttime lighting beyond the mitigation requirements for the 2016 dredging project.




Habitat restoration opportunities in this reach are limited due to the flood protection requirements of the Corps 205 project. The US Army Corps of Engineers will have to be consulted on any habitat restoration done in this area. Strict restrictions on planting along levees in this area, but there may be opportunities for planting on the right bank.

Acquire parcels near the former Elliot Bridge site to enable floodplain restoration. Acquisition priorities include two parcels on the right bank just upstream of the Punnett Briggs revetment and up to four parcels on the left bank along the river and 149th Ave SE. Once property is acquired, restore the floodplain, including setting back or removing the Elliot Bridge levee, removing the old Elliot Bridge abutments and portions of 149th Ave., and potentially removing the toe rock from the Orting Hill revetment (left in place following a mitigation project). As part of this restoration, evaluate relocation of lower Madsen Creek to enhance habitat conditions in the creek.

This reach has roads adjacent to the river which contribute sediment (through erosion) directly to the river. Roads that should be considered for improvement include Road 10, 20 and 12. The Steele Creek bridge should be reconstructed at the same time as any road improvements. The bridge should be improved to reduce riparian confinement, and coupled with efforts to limit fine sediment inputs through revegetation and other riparian enhancements.

As an initial step in this effort, perform a feasibility study and risk assessment for the potential to re-route lower Laughing Jacobs Creek south of its current alignment, moving the channel through Lake Sammamish State Park.




Current alignment of Laughing Jacobs downstream of East Lake Sammamish Parkway is highly armored and confined by private residences. Relocating the channel will offer greater complexity and channel/floodplain interactions, benefitting Chinook and kokanee. Project is a viable restoration opportunity regardless of the potential for a future re-route of the lower channel due to inflows from Many Springs Creek.
