SHORT DESCRIPTION |
This project has been conducted in response to the Chehalis Basin Partnership’s (The Partnership) commitment to address municipal water supply issues as part of its Watershed Planning and Management Phase IV Implementation. Analysis of municipal water provider rights falls under Watershed Management Plan Action 3 of the Partnership’s Detailed Implementation Plan. Action 3 states that the Partnership will, “address …municipal water rights by (1) estimating quantity of water represented by inchoate rights [held by Group A municipal water purveyors] and (2) clarifying how such rights can be reconciled with protecting instream flow needs and can be affected by water conservation programs.” This objective is a required watershed plan element under state law. |

|
SHORT DESCRIPTION |
A study was completed in September 2007 in the Chehalis River basin to determine gain or loss of streamflow by measuring discharge at selected intervals within various reaches along the Chehalis River and its tributaries. Discharge was measured at 68 new and existing streamflow sites, where gains and losses were determined for 36 stream reaches. Streamflow gains were measured for 22 reaches and losses were measured for 13 reaches. No gain or loss was measured at the Chehalis River between the Newaukum and Skookumchuck Rivers. The Chehalis River exhibited a pattern of alternating gains and losses as it entered the area of wide, gentle relief known as the Grand Mound Prairie. The general pattern of tributary ground- and surface-water interaction was discharge to streams (gaining reaches) in the upper reaches and discharge to the ground-water system (losing reaches) as the tributaries entered the broad, flat Chehalis River valley. |

The purpose of this document is to provide the Chehalis Basin Partnership (CBP) with an assessment of the Chehalis Basin Watershed. Through this process, gaps in available data were identified and recommendations for a second level of analysis were developed. The first section of this document provides an overview of the process leading to the Chehalis Watershed Assessment and a description of the basin. Section 2 provides a technical summary of the analyses (geology and hydrology, water rights and use, water quality, and fisheries). Section 3 provides a detailed analysis of the five subbasins selected for more detailed analysis (Chehalis River headwaters (#1), Lower Newaukum River (#7), Cloquallum Creek (#14), Mainstem Chehalis- Lower Reach-1 (#19), and Humptulips River (#25)). These subbasins were selected to represent the diversity within the Chehalis Basin. In addition to the detailed analysis, some conclusions have been formulated. Section 4 summarizes results, limitations, and datagaps from the Level 1 Assessment and provides recommendations for the Level 2 Assessment. In addition to these main sections of the document, technical appendices have been provided for the four assessment topics (Geology and Hydrology, Water Rights and Water Use, Water Quality, and Fisheries). |

SHORT DESCRIPTION |
This report presents a site and reach assessment of streambed erosion and fish passage problems in the Middle Fork of Wildcat Creek at State Route (SR) 8 Culvert 8/13. Scour and erosion at the culvert outlet has exposed shallow footings, and caused the left bank wingwall to collapse in 2005. The steep drop at the outlet also creates a fish passage bar-rier. The report analyzes site and reach conditions to identify the mechanisms and causes of these problems, and evaluates several alternative solutions. |

As directed under Engrossed Substitute House Bill 2496 and Second Engrossed Second Substitute Senate Bill 5595, the habitat conditions of salmonid-producing watersheds within WRIAs 22 and 23 are reviewed and rated. In addition, we prioritized sub-basins based upon greatest benefit to salmonids, and prioritized the actions (restoration, conservation, and assessments) that are needed for restoration of each individual subbasin. The worst habitat problems are summarized here, but an overview of all the habitat ratings is provided in Table 40 in the Assessment Chapter. The Assessment Chapter also specifies the criteria used to rate habitat conditions. Other components of this report include detailed discussions for each of the habitat conditions, which can be found within the Habitat Limiting Factors Chapter of this report. Also, maps of updated salmon and steelhead trout distribution, large woody debris (LWD) conditions, and riparian conditions are located in a separate electronic file on this disc. This first round report examines salmon and steelhead trout habitat conditions. Later versions will address habitat issues for other salmonids. |

This report documents the results of an instream flow study conducted by the Tetra Tech/KCM and Triangle Associates consulting team for Grays Harbor County on behalf of the Chehalis Basin Partnership. This study was done to support the Partnership in developing a Watershed Management Plan under the State of Washington’s Watershed Management Act (RCW 90.82), also known as a “2514 Watershed Plan.” Under the 2514 planning process, the Partnership elected to address four elements: water quantity, water quality, habitat, and instream flow. The present study addresses the instream flow element by providing stream flow data for previously ungauged sites, and by compiling and evaluating existing stream flow data for sites where active and/or historical flow gauging has been done. |

SHORT DESCRIPTION |
Subsequent to the release of the Level 1
Assessment report, the Chehalis Basin Partnership divided
the Chehalis Basin into four study areas to simplify
planning. To reorganize the Level 1 information by study
area, as well as to summarize the data for easier use in the
planning process, this Detailed Summary of the Level 1
Assessment has been prepared.
Key topics addressed are as follows:
• Geology/Hydrology—Promoting
the availability and quality of water in the basin will
require a good understanding of where the water comes from.
Water sources include groundwater in underground aquifers
and surface waters in creeks, rivers, lakes and other above
-ground water bodies. Geology affects the presence and
movement of groundwater. Hydrology is the study of surface
water behavior.
• Water
Rights/Water Use—Ensuring the availability of water in the
Chehalis Basin will require detailed information on
already-allocated water rights in the basin as well as
actual water use. Comparing the water supply in the basins’
rivers and streams to the amounts of water allocated by
water rights and actually being used will indicate how much
water is available for future uses.
• Water Quality—The
Level 1 report provides an evaluation of existing data that
describes current basin water quality. • Fish Habitat and Fish Stock Condition—The Chehalis Basin Plan will present strategies for protecting critical fish species. The Level 1 report summarizes available information on conditions affecting these species. |

SHORT DESCRIPTION |
Grays Harbor Conservation District (GHCD) has been monitoring fecal coliform in the Humptulips River, Satsop River, and Wynoochee River since January, 2001. These rivers are tributaries to Grays Harbor, which is on the 303(d) list for fecal coliform. A TMDL study completed for Grays Harbor indicates that fecal coliform pollution might be coming from the tributaries that feed into the harbor (Ecology, 2000). GHCD has conducted this monitoring to accomplish the following: to quantify the lower Chehalis/estuary Total Maximum Daily Load study, to isolate and identify the contaminant source, and to identify contributing land uses to the extent possible. Monitoring began in January 2001 and ended June 30, 2003. |

SHORT DESCRIPTION |
In 1992, the US Army Corps of Engineers placed oyster shell on tidal flats to mitigate for Dungeness crab mortalities caused by dredging in Grays Harbor in 1990. Shell placement damaged isolated patches of eelgrass. To help assess the potential for the recovery of eelgrass in plots that may have been significantly affected, eelgrass transplanting experiments were initiated in 1990. Eelgrass was transplanted into 16 ponded areas that were created by the uneven placement of the shell. This study records the results. |
