The Chelan County Natural Resources Department will use this grant to reduce road-related impacts to creeks in the Peshastin watershed. Roads can damage stream habitat by constricting the floodplain width, blocking fish migration, altering the flow of streams and causing erosion. About 65 miles of roads managed by the U.S. Forest Service will be abandoned and restored, relocated out of floodplains or otherwise improved to reduce sediment input into streams, improve fish passage and improve floodplain function. Work will target Peshastin Creek and its tributaries. Peshastin Creek is a tributary to the Wenatchee River, entering the Wenatchee downstream of the town of Peshastin. The creek is home to spring Chinook salmon, steelhead and bull trout. The Forest Service will contribute $100,000 towards this project.
