Contract Description:
The South Fork Catherine Creek Floodplain Restoration Project is located on South Fork Catherine Creek, a tributary to the Grande Ronde River.  The project is located on 4.3 miles of South Fork Catherine Creek  (starting at approximate RM .25 – 4.55) (T 5S, R 41E, S 24 & T 5S, R 42E, S 28, 29, 30). within  Upper Catherine Creek (1706010405); South Fork Catherine Creek (170601040502); Reaches 1-2; Union County.  

The objective is to improve spring/summer Chinook habitat, summer steelhead habitat and migratory habitat for bull trout, specifically through improving or increasing the following habitat elements.

•   Improve floodplain function and connectivity
•   Improve water capture, storage and safe release within the floodplain.
•   Increase quantity and quality of pools within South Fork Catherine Creek
•   Increase fish cover
•   Increase habitat complexity
•   Increase forage availability
•   Increase residual pool depth
•   Increase number of large and medium pieces of large woody debris in the stream
•   Increase spawning gravel recruitment
•   Improve riparian vegetation and improved future large wood recruitment potential

The South Fork Catherine Creek Floodplain Restoration project will place wood within 4.3 miles of South Fork Catherine Creek for a total of 19 structure sites.  Approximately 4.3 miles of streambottom road would be obliterated.  Approximately .25 mile of overflow channel would be constructed and the up, downstream, and 0700 junction entrances would be closed with boulders and wood.   A pond will be constructed in the uplands, north of the project area, adjacent to the 0700 road system.  Three drift fences would be constructed.  Approximately, 6500 conifers and 5500 deciduous seedlings will be planted within the project area.
