  • 2016 State of Our Watersheds Report West WRIA 18 – Morse Creek to Elwha River
    2016 State of Our Watersheds Report West WRIA 18 – Morse Creek to Elwha River am removal seemed like an elusive Dtarget over the years and many citizens were skeptical of the benefits. However in just four years the river has transported over 60% of the stored sediment, resulting in a rebirth of the estuary and the floodplain. Salmon are ascending to historic habitats and the recovery of the ecosystem is about to blossom. -MIkE MCHENrY FIsHErIEs HABItAt MANAGEr Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe The Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe is part of the Klal- lam Band of Indians that have resided throughout the Strait of Juan de Fuca, Hood Canal and Port Gamble Bay for generations. They are party to the Point No Point Treaty of 1855, when tribes ceded most their traditional lands to the U.S. government. The Dunge- ness-Elwha Basin (WRIA 18) has remained largely Seattle rural and forested with a natural resources-based economy focused on shellfish harvesting, commercial forestry, commercial fisheries, tourism, and agricul- ture. Major land-use impacts on salmon habitat have occurred from floodplain and shoreline development, road construction and past logging practices. This report will focus on the northwest portion of WRIA 18 basin and surrounding marine waters, which is only a portion of the area that the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe co-manages. 58 Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe Elwha Basin The Area of Concern for the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe (Elwha shoreline habitat conditions.

    Mapping and Monitoring Bluff Erosion with Boat-based LIDAR and the Development of a Sediment Budget and Erosion Model for the Elwha and Dungeness Littoral Cells, Clallam County, Washington GEORGE M. KAMINSKY HEATHER M. BARON AMANDA HACKING DIANA McCANDLESS Washington State Department of Ecology Coastal Monitoring & Analysis Program DAVID S. PARKS Washington State Department of Natural Resources 1 This project has been funded wholly or in part by the United States Environmental Protection Agency under assistance agreement PC00J29801 to Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife contract number 12-1119 and sponsored by Coastal Watershed Institute. The contents of this document do not necessarily reflect the views and policies of the Environmental Protection Agency, nor does mention of trade names or commercial products constitute endorsement or recommendation for use. 2 ABSTRACT The spatial distribution and temporal variability of retreat rates of coastal bluffs composed of unconsolidated glacial deposits are of intense interest to landowners who occupy bluff-top properties as well as coastal resource managers who are responsible for protecting marine habitats such as forage fish spawning beaches dependent on bluff-derived sediments. Assessment of the bluff retreat and associated sediment volumes contributed to the nearshore over time is the first step toward development of a coastal sediment budget for bluff-backed beaches. This project develops and applies a boat-based LiDAR system for mapping and monitoring bluff erosion patterns from June 2012 to August 2013 to augment traditional data sources including aerial photography (1939 and 2001), GPS-based beach profile data (2010-2013), and airborne LiDAR (2001 and 2012). These data are analyzed in context to determine alongshore rates of bluff retreat and associated volume change for the Elwha and Dungeness littoral cells in Clallam County, Washington.

  • Summary and Anticipated Responses to Elwha River Dam Removal 9 by Guy Gelfenbaum, Jeffrey J
    Chapter Summary and Anticipated Responses to Elwha River Dam Removal 9 By Guy Gelfenbaum, Jeffrey J. Duda, and Jonathan A.

During project because of the size of the dams, and after the removal of these dams, the volume of sediment released, the the Elwha River and its ecosystems will pristine watershed upstream of the dam be altered by a renewal of sediment sites, and the potential for renewing discharge downstream of the dams and salmon populations. Ecosystem studies a reintroduction of salmon spawning of the Elwha watershed indicate that the upstream of the dams. This chapter effects of almost 100 years of damming summarizes the pre-dam and current state are measurable and of consequence. of the river and its coastal ecosystems, These effects include smaller spawning and describes the likely outcomes of salmon populations, massive sediment river restoration on the Elwha River retention behind the dams, coarsening ecosystems. of the riverbed downstream of the dams, Chapter 19 250 Coastal Habitats of the Elwha River, Washington—Biological and Physical Patterns and Processes Prior to Dam Removal Introduction A. 125° 123° 49° The removal of two large dams on the Elwha River presents an opportunity to restore Str ait o Salish Sea natural fluvial processes to a mostly pristine f Ju an deFuca watershed and rebuild iconic salmon runs. fig.

  • 2.4 Elwha River and Tributaries Page 2.4-1
    Chapter 2.4 Elwha River and Tributaries Page 2.4-1 2.4 ELWHA RIVER AND TRIBUTARIES 2.4.1 Overview The Elwha River is the largest watershed in the EMMT area and it constitutes the westernmost watershed within the planning area (Figure 2.4-1). The Elwha mainstem is approximately 45 miles long, has 100 miles of tributary streams, has a basin averaging approximately ten miles wide in an east-west direction, and drains 321 square miles of the Olympic Peninsula. Eighty-three percent of the drainage, including the upper 35 miles of the mainstem, lies within Olympic National Park, and is therefore protected from timber harvest, agriculture, and other land-use disturbances. The river flows in a northerly direction into the Strait of Juan de Fuca, entering the strait five miles west of Port Angeles. The Elwha is the fourth largest river, by drainage area, among all Olympic Peninsula streams, with a watershed area smaller only than those of the Quillayute, Queets, and Quinault rivers. Two major hydroelectric developments have altered the historic condition of the Elwha River. The Elwha Dam, built at RM 4.9 beginning in 1910, now impounds the 2.5-mile long Lake Aldwell reservoir, and the Glines Canyon Dam, built at RM 13.4, now impounds the 2.8-mile long Lake Mills reservoir. Originally built and operated to produce electricity for Port Angeles and beyond (supplying power as far away as Bremerton and Port Townsend prior to 1921), the dams have been fully allocated to supplying power to the pulp mill now operated by Nippon Paper Industries USA since the early 1920s.

  • Lesson 4 - “Local History”
    LESSON 4 - “LOCAL HISTORY” ESSENTIAL QUESTION What combination of factors both natural and manmade is necessary for healthy river restoration and how does this enhance the sustainability of natural and human communities? GUIDING QUESTION: What was the life of a homesteader like and what tools from today would make their lives simpler? LESSON OVERVIEW: During this lesson students will read three articles and create a time line by putting the events in chronological order using a graphic organizer. The time line can be used in future lessons to add later occurring events. The time line will allow students to see how events in one area can affect local, state, national and world history and visa versa. TIME NEEDED: One 45-50 minute class period MATERIALS: Journal Articles o Port Angeles - Thumbnail History o Ceremony in Port Angeles marks arrival of electricity o Clallam County-Thumbnail History Graphic Organizers o “Countdown to the Elwha River Restoration” o “Countdown to the Elwha River Restoration” teacher master PROCEDURES: 1. Have the students read the three articles: 1 Port Angeles - Thumbnail History 2 Ceremony in Port Angeles marks arrival of electricity 3 Clallam County-Thumbnail History 2. Have the students highlight all dates then fill in the graphic organizer. 3. Discuss how to combine the information from the three articles and other information into one time line. 4. Assign a journal entry to discuss one national or world historical event that affected the local area. For example, the exploration of the Washington coast brought European diseases to the native tribes thereby reducing their populations.
