| Description |
The Muck Creek watershed in southwestern Pierce County supports native runs of chum, coho, and steelhead salmon, as well as resident and sea-run cutthroat trout. Over time, human activities and land-use changes have reduced the quantity and quality of instream habitat within the watershed. Despite the initiation of several stream restoration projects, potentially valuable habitat in the upper watershed remains inaccessible to salmon due to intermittent stream conditions affecting the central watershed. This study was undertaken to evaluate the potential cause(s) of intermittent flow conditions within the watershed, and to provide a general overview of the hydrogeologic setting which gives rise to these conditions.
