5.10 Grays Harbor Tributaries Ecological Region Ecological Regions: Grays Harbor Tributaries Ecological Region 5.10 Grays Harbor Tributaries Ecological Region 5.10.1 Overview The Grays Harbor Tributaries Ecological Region encompasses the tributaries that directly enter Grays Harbor (other than the Chehalis River) and the Wishkah River that enters the Chehalis River at RM 0 (Figure 5-19). This ecological region encompasses more than 600 square miles (nearly 385,000 acres) and represents approximately 22% of the overall Chehalis Basin. The ecological region is diverse, with drainages from the Olympic Mountains and lower Coast Range areas. The highest point in this ecological region is Gibson Peak at 4,390 feet.

Key changes that occurred in the Grays Harbor Tributaries Ecological Region following Euro-American settlement were timber harvest and industrial and urban development surrounding Grays Harbor (Aberdeen and Hoquiam) and the major transportation corridors (including Highway 101, railroad lines, SR 12, and SR 105). Similar to other parts of the basin, splash dams were used (see the description in Section 2.1). Several splash dams were known to have been used on both the East and West Fork Humptulips rivers and major tributaries such as Big Creek, and numerous splash dams were used on all forks of the Wishkah and Hoquiam rivers (Humptulips Historical Society 2018; WDF 1975; Wendler and Deschamps 1955). Numerous splash dams were also used on Newskah Creek. Road-, railroad-, bridge-, and timber-associated construction likely also moved and straightened some of the tributaries. The Washington Department of Fisheries (1975) noted that gravel mining occurred regularly in and adjacent to the Humptulips River and there were low flows in several tributaries. A natural falls at about RM 18 on the East Fork Humptulips River had a fish ladder installed. Municipal water dams and diversion on the Hoquiam River and its tributaries have hindered fish passage and reduced flows. The water supply dam and reservoir at RM 32 on the Wishkah River was not installed with fish passage, although it Natural and stable large wood is only present in is upstream of a natural falls. It appears that the dam a few protected locations in the upper West blocks access for steelhead to upstream areas. Fork Humptulips River. In the majority of the Grays Harbor Tributaries Ecological Region, the old-growth forest was logged, and splash dams Modeling conducted by NOAA (Beechie 2018) for the were used extensively on the East and West ASRP indicated moderate losses (about 20%) in marsh Fork Humptulips rivers, the Wishkah Ricer, and habitats in the Humptulips and Hoquiam river Newskah Creek to facilitate moving timber to floodplains and disturbance to many of the remaining markets. marshes. To support the ASRP analysis and EDT modeling, the SRT developed assumptions of the channel lengths and areas of floodplain habitat that were likely to be present in historical conditions. These assumptions were based on the GLO mapping from the late 1800s, more recent historical aerial photographs, and interpretation of current LiDAR data that show remnant channels and other floodplain features. The rivers in the Grays Harbor Tributaries Ecological Region are unconfined to partly confined and low gradient within narrow valleys in the upper areas and large, wide alluvial valleys in the lower extents. Chehalis Basin Strategy 184 Aquatic Species Restoration Plan Ecological Regions: Grays Harbor Tributaries Ecological Region Compared to historical conditions, the stream channel lengths do not appear to be significantly reduced, but side channels would have historically been far more prevalent, and the rivers could have had 3 to 8 times the area of frequently connected floodplain. Large wood has been removed from the channels throughout this region. 5.10.3 Current Conditions Current conditions in the Grays Harbor Tributaries Ecological Region reflect ongoing agricultural land Grays Harbor Tributaries Current Snapshot uses and residential and commercial development.

  • Seeks Input at Upcoming Public Meetings in Forks, Aberdeen and Port Angeles
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE March 19, 2019 Olympic Forest Collaborative Begins 2019 by Building on Successes - Seeks Input at Upcoming Public Meetings in Forks, Aberdeen and Port Angeles Partnership initiated by Representative Kilmer between Timber & Conservation interests has helped increase timber harvest and aquatic restoration projects on Olympic National Forest through consensus-based approach. PORT ANGELES, WA –Representative Derek Kilmer (D-WA) & The Olympic Forest Collaborative head in to 2019 with an impressive string of successful projects increasing timber harvest and aquatic restoration on Olympic National Forest. A series of public meetings in 2019 are planned to obtain community input on future projects. “Growing up in Port Angeles, I know that actively managing our federal forests is essential to supporting quality jobs in the timber industry, protecting our environment, and growing our outdoor economy,” said U.S. Representative Derek Kilmer (D-WA06) who represents the Olympic Peninsula. “That’s why we embarked on this project to bring together regional leaders to develop innovative approaches to restoring our forests and promoting increased harvest levels. The recent successes achieved by the Olympic Forest Collaborative show that we don’t have to choose between protecting our environment and creating a more vibrant economy.” Over the last three years, the Olympic Forest Collaborative has worked across the Olympic Peninsula assisting the U. S. Forest Service with preparing commercial thinning timber sales to help the Olympic National Forest meet and recently exceed their timber targets, fund habitat and aquatic restoration objectives, and host public meetings around the peninsula. In addition to assisting the Forest on projects, the Olympic Forest Collaborative has successfully developed and prepared two different pilot Habitat Restoration Thinning Stewardship projects which were sold by the Olympic National Forest.

  • Development of Escapement Goals for Grays Harbor Fall Chinook Using Spawner-Recruit Models
    Development of escapement goals for Grays Harbor fall Chinook using spawner-recruit models May 2014 Quinault Department of Natural Resources (QDNR) Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) Abstract Grays Harbor fall Chinook are currently managed for a system-total escapement goal of 14,600 naturally spawning adults (Chehalis: 12,364, Humptulips: 2,236), a goal established in 1979 based on estimates of total accessible spawning habitat and spawning habitat capacity for individual streams in the Grays Harbor Basin. Grays Harbor escapement goals have received additional attention since this capacity-based goal was developed, most recently by QDNR and WDFW in 2007 (a joint effort) and between 1999 and 2003 by the Chinook Technical Committee (CTC) of the Pacific Salmon Commission (PSC) and its Washington members. To develop an escapement goal for common use in the CTC’s review of indicator stock performance and by the Grays Harbor co-managers (QDNR and WDFW) in management, QDNR and WDFW recently conducted stock-recruitment analyses for Grays Harbor fall Chinook using updated escapement, terminal run reconstruction, and ocean abundance datasets. Goals were developed separately for each main tributary (Chehalis, Humptulips) and summed to generate an aggregate goal for the CTC Grays Harbor fall Chinook escapement indicator stock. Of three spawner-recruit functions considered (Shepherd, Beverton-Holt, Ricker), the Ricker model was identified as being the most appropriate form for both the Chehalis and Humptulips datasets. Parameter estimates indicate that the adult spawning escapement needed to produce maximum sustained yield (mean Smsy) for the Grays Harbor fall Chinook indicator stock aggregate is 13,326 (age 3+ individuals); Smsy is 9,753 for the Chehalis River and 3,573 for the Humptulips River.
