THE BACKWATER PROJECT WILL ENHANCE THE HYDROLOGIC CONNECTION TO 660 LINEAL FEET OF OFF-CHANNEL HABITAT, AND INCREASE THE DURATION AND RANGE OF FLOWS THAT MIGRATING AND REARING JUVENILE COHO SALMON CAN ACCESS THE OFF-CHANNEL HABITAT FEATURE BY 94 . TO ACHIEVE THIS OBJECTIVE, THE CONTRACTOR WILL REMOVE APPROXIMATELY 2,300 CUBIC YARD OF SEDIMENT FROM THE BACKWATER, INSTALL TWO LARGE WOOD STRUCTURES CONTAINING 14 LOGS WILL BE INSTALLED AT THE ENTRANCE, AND UP TO 13 SINGLE LOG STRUCTURES FROM SALVAGED TREES. IN ADDITION, UNDER LEVERAGED FUNDING, THE RIPARIAN AREA WILL BE PLANTED WITH NATIVE SPECIES INCLUDING: 1,386 WETLAND PLANTS, 114 HERBACEOUS UNDERSTORY PLANTS, 78 SHRUBS, AND 120 TREES, AND THE LANDOWNER WILL INSTALL LIVESTOCK EXCLUSION FENCING ALONG 1,800 FEET TO PERMANENTLY EXCLUDE CATTLE FROM 51 ACRES OF THE SMITH RIVER ESTUARY.
