| Study Purpose | The Okanogan Highlands Alliance, together with its partners, will implement the Triple Creek Water Quality Restoration Project in Myers Creek, which is listed on the 303(d) water quality assessment as having a number of parameters with Category 3 (insufficient data) designations. This project will use in-stream structures known as beaver dam analogs that mimic beaver dams and are projected to aggrade the incised creek and re-connect the channel with its floodplain slowly over time. Water quality concerns will be addressed by reconnecting the floodplain and historic wetland, establishing riparian vegetation, and re-establishing wetland hydrologic functions.
The monitoring component of this project will include the collection of surface water level, temperature, and dissolved oxygen data in-situ by data loggers. Water temperature and DO are the primary water quality parameters to be monitored as part of this study. Shallow groundwater levels will also be monitored with well level loggers across two floodplain transects. In addition, this study will also investigate the recruitment and deposition of sediment and other geomorphological changes via an annual topographic survey. |
