Snohomish Basin Steelhead State of the Knowledge Report (2008)
23 January 2008 TO: Snohomish Basin Partners SUBJECT: Snohomish Basin Steelhead State of the Knowledge Report Dear Partners: With the Snohomish Basin Salmonid Recovery Technical Committee and the Co-managers (WDFW and Tulalip Tribes), Snohomish County contracted the services of R2 Resource Consulting to compile existing information on steelhead in the Snohomish Basin. This information was requested in anticipation of eventual recovery plan development across the Puget Sound Steelhead ESU. The report lays a foundation for technical analysis and planning, but it is not a plan. The Report fulfilled eight key tasks that help provide baseline information for the planning process: 1. Developed an electronic annotated bibliography documenting sources of data and information on life histories, largely at the basin level. 2. Developed a GIS geodatabase of current and historic life histories in habitats across the basin. 3. Developed a map of known spawning and rearing reaches in the basin. 4. Summarized harvest and hatchery management in cooperation with the co-managers. 5. Described available information on migration, spawning, rearing and overwintering habitats across the basin, by brood year and stock. 6. Described existing data sets and their strengths and limitations for planning. 7. Summarized the knowledge regarding genetic differentiation between hatchery and wild stocks. 8. Coordinated with the Technical Committee, Co-managers and NOAA Fisheries. Note: the information in this report was collected from all known sources. The Technical Committee and Forum will need to evaluate this information and put it into context when initiating the planning process. The report may raise technical or policy questions to the fore but is not meant as the definitive answer for steelhead management and/or recovery. -
Times When Spawning Or Incubating Salmonids Are Least Likely to Be Within Washington State Freshwaters
Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife TIMES WHEN SPAWNING OR INCUBATING SALMONIDS ARE LEAST LIKELY TO BE WITHIN WASHINGTON STATE FRESHWATERS June 1, 2018 Page 1 Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) biologists will use this table as a starting point when they consider timing restrictions for any hydraulic project for which they will issue a written HPA. WDFW developed this table based on the general conditions and fish life histories present within broad reaches of stream or sub- basins. Based on the site-specific conditions, circumstances, work proposed, and fish life stages present, timing restrictions for individual hydraulic project sites may differ from those upon which this table was based; therefore alternative work times may be appropriate for some projects. The table identifies times when salmonid eggs and fry are least likely to be incubating within stream gravels. In the case of some large streams, such as the Columbia and Snake Rivers, outmigration timing of smolts was also considered. Check the listing for the county in which in-water work will occur to identify times that may avoid impact to spawning and incubating fish life. Biologists will also consider such things as the expected impact of construction activities, equipment type and access, life history stages of all species of fish life present, presence or absence of spawning habitat and incubating fish at or near the project site, weather (heavy rain, snow, frozen soils), work site containment, wastewater management, best management practices proposed by the project proponent, mitigation measures volunteered or imposed upon the project, and other circumstances and conditions when permitting in-water work. -
Conservation History of the Alpine Lakes Part I Bill Beyers & Don Parks1
The Newsletter of the Alpine Lakes Protection Society (ALPS) 2016 Issue No. 2 Conservation History of the Alpine Lakes Part I Bill Beyers & Don Parks1 While 2016 marks the 40th anniversary of the passage of the Alpine Lakes Management Act, proposals for preservation of the region date back almost another 40 years. In fact, events critical to conservation in the Alpine Lakes Region date back to 1864 with the authorization of the Northern Pacific Railroad (NPR) to build a transcontinental railroad that could receive a federal land grant. The resulting land ownership pattern, coupled with the extremely high environmental values, have measurably added to the challenge of efforts to protect the area. Figure 1 Land Ownership Classification Pattern Prior to Settlement of NPR Land Claims in 1940. Northern Pacific Land Grant Source: Cascade Mountains Study, by Washington State Planning Council, dated May 1940. The land ownerships (1864-1941) depicted are as of 1937. The NPR expected to receive title to every other square mile This pattern included all of the Wilderness. There were several (odd numbered sections) 40 Alpine Lakes region (Figure 1; variations in the selection miles north and south from uncolored sections promised to procedures that evolved over NPR). the track route that crossed the Continued on page 2 Cascades at Stampede Pass, as In order to acquire the deeds to well as along track that went all this land the NPR was required through the Columbia River to complete several steps including Also in this issue: Gorge and north to Tacoma surveying.

WATERFALL HIKE There Are Three Spectacular Clusters of Waterfalls
13534 35th Ave. N.E. Seattle, WA 98125 (206) 363-0859 WATERFALL HIKE There are three spectacular clusters of waterfalls which we may visit based on water flow and weather. Our waterfall itinerary includes Keekwulee Falls, a 70 foot multi tiered falls. Keekwulee is a 4 mile hike up Denny Creek, which is a tributary of the South Fork Snoqualmie River. Franklin Falls is a vertical plunge falls adjoining the historic Snoqualmie Pass wagon road. There is a beautiful mist bathed one mile trail that follows the continual cascade of the South Fork Snoqualmie all the way to Denny Cr. camp. All along the trail are glimpses into the 20 foot deep granite gorge carved by the turbulent river here. About 10 miles further down stream is 168' Twin Falls, a two mile hike provides spectacular views of two classic falls. Finally there is Snoqualmie Falls. Some of the falls up north include: Bridal Veil Falls, on the south side of the highway draining Lake Serene; Sunset Falls with its power and plumes of white froth shooting into the air; Eagle Falls churns its way through a beautiful rock chasm into a clear green pool below. A fourth waterfall, Wallace Falls, is a hike of about six miles round trip and 800' elevation gain, on a good trail. This is a classic double plunge falls. If the weather is poor we will head East to visit such falls as Triple Falls, a dramatic triple cascade (believe it or not sometimes run by kayakers), China Falls, a high volume river wide plunge falls, an intricate waterfall called the Wall of Voodoo, and an unusual ramp falls in a narrow canyon. -

Echo Lake covers an area of 13 acres and has a maximum depth of 30-feet. The lake is surrounded by private properties, except for a public park and swimming beach located at the north end of the lake (Figure 2). The lake is primarily fed by groundwater but there is significant inflow to the lake in the form of surface water runoff from surrounding residential roadways, residential and commercial properties and Highway 99.
