Recommendation:
C
Date:

Comment:

This proposal adds onto an existing project. Completion of the two projects would replace culverts in the Chumstick watershed. The emphasis in the proposal is upon the lower reaches in the watershed where a series of improperly designed and/or maintained culverts has blocked migrations of anadromous fishes for many years. The two projects in tandem will lead to reconnection of 7 miles of Chumstick Creek with the Wenatchee River at Leavenworth Washington.

The proposal lacked sufficient detail on its justification that it is a high priority action based on a watershed analysis. A map of the area and a listing of culverts and their priority for replacement would have allowed the reviewers a better chance to understand the details and need for the project. There was no discussion of the expected response from the affected stocks. They should consider potential impacts on native resident stocks if any are present above the culverts.


Recommendation:
HP "B" W

Comment:

The replacement of these 12 culverts will be beneficial to steelhead (ESA listed) assuming replacement of the primary culvert at Highway 209 (BPA contract #99-023) is completed. Although impacted by development, the creek does not go dry except in a couple of stretches during late summer when it goes subterranean. The stream would have value for coho and steelhead rearing.
