-
Brighton Creek Culvert
The goal of this project is to remove a fish barrier on Brighton Creek, where it crosses under Harts Lake Road near the confluence with the Nisqually River.
-
Butte Pit Flooding Project
Pierce County is developing plan for flood risk reduction by building a setback levee with habitat components.
-
Carbon River Right Bank Floodplain Connection
The purpose of the project is to connect Carbon River main channel flows to its floodplain and an existing side channel, located on the right bank side of the river. The goal is to connect at least 6 acres of floodplain for a two-year flow event and stage, using at least six engineered log jams.
-
Chambers Creek Bridge Replacement
Pierce County Surface Water Management is now exploring bridge replacement options as part of a greater effort to restore the Chambers Bay Estuary.
-
Clover Creek Water Quality Retrofit #1
The goal of this project is to improve water quality of the Clover Creek watershed, an area of approximately 120 acres in Parkland.
-
Diru Creek Project
This project will stabilize the creek channel and banks between 72nd Avenue East and 80th Street East.
-
Fennel Creek Phase 3
Pierce County is continuing its efforts to improve floodplain connectivity and fish habitat on this creek.
-
Huge Creek at 144th Street NW
The existing roadway crossing consists of an 18-foot-wide (across stream channel) by 12-foot-long (along stream channel) full span bridge.
-
Jones Levee Setback
The Jones Levee project will extend the Wolfe Levee further upstream, ending at high ground. This will prevent flood waters from getting behind Wolfe Levee and greatly reduce the City’s flood risk. Both of these projects are designed as “setbacks” which means the river is given more room to naturally meander. This extra room is also useful during a flood, lowering the flood levels and taking pressure off of the levee system.
-
Little Minter Creek at 144th Street NW
The existing 51-foot long, 3-foot diameter culvert is identified as a partial fish barrier due to its outlet drop, flow depth, and water velocity through the culvert.
-
Orville Road at Kapowsin Creek
The county is continuing its efforts to protect Orville Road from the impact of the river migrating to the road.
-
Purdy Creek at 160th Street NW
The existing 4-foot-diameter culvert includes a metal weir at the outlet, creating two steps of water surface drop before the downstream section of Purdy Creek.
-
Purdy Creek Water Quality & Fish Passage Scoping
We are considering several options to improve fish passage in Purdy Creek upstream of SR 302.
-
Rody Creek Channel Stabilization at Pioneer Way E.
Pierce County has initiated this project to reduce sediment input and loading into the Rody Creek channel by stabilizing certain areas of ravine slope erosion.
-
