 G30Realign, Connect, and/or Create ChannelGoose Creek Channel Restoration Project ConstructionAn approximately 1,200 foot long gravel access road will be constructed and bridge stabilization abutments will be installed by both subcontractors and Tribal Tech staff to support an existing railcar bridge. Once these features are constructed, the Phase 3 channel work will be activated and portions of the old channel plugged. The Tribe’s Habitat Restoration Biologist will provide construction oversight.Cutthroat Trout, Westslope (O. c. lewisi), Trout, Bull (S. confluentus) (Threatened)
 H55Erosion and Sedimentation ControlGoose Creek Channel Restoration Project Construction Erosion and Sediment ControlAccess road and bridge abutment construction will require implementation of erosion and sediment control measures to minimize accelerated erosion and sedimentation in Goose Creek. Disturbed upland areas (Zone 3) will be revegetated as described in Work Element I - Plant Vegetation. Straw wattles with biodegradable netting will be used for sediment control. These will be placed along the perimeter of the work area and used as mulch once they are no longer needed.Cutthroat Trout, Westslope (O. c. lewisi), Trout, Bull (S. confluentus) (Threatened)
 I47Plant VegetationVegetate Phase 3 Construction AreaThe Phase 3 construction area will be vegetated in three distinct zones. Zone 1 - the area within four feet of the stream channel bank - will be vegetated with native wetland seed mix. Zone 2 - the area of the floodplain greater than four feet from the stream channel bank - will be planted with native floodplain seed mix. Zone 3 - the upland areas of the project - will be planted with native upland meadow seed mix. We will also salvage and replant alders in the open water portions of the original Goose Creek.Cutthroat Trout, Westslope (O. c. lewisi), Trout, Bull (S. confluentus) (Threatened)
 J47Plant VegetationMaintain Conservation NurseryOngoing stream and floodplain restoration efforts require significant investments in nursery stock. To reduce future costs, bare root nursery stock and cuttings will be potted and cultivated in the Tribe's conservation nursery. This nursery stock will then be utilized in the Goose Creek Restoration Project and future stream and floodplain restoration efforts.Cutthroat Trout, Westslope (O. c. lewisi), Trout, Bull (S. confluentus) (Threatened)
