The Upper Squamish River Habitat Restoration Project is a multi-year project that was
divided into four major components during the fiscal year. The project fits direction within the
directives identified in the Cheakamus Watershed Salmonid Action Plan as noted in Table 2
under Habitat Based Actions: a) Maintain existing constructed habitat enhancements for all
salmonids; and b) Improve existing side channels and off-channel areas for all salmonids.
These works included:
Culvert upgrades on High Falls with changes to the outlet location and improved
access into the spawning channel;
Culvert replacement on Mile 22 Creek including redirecting flows along the east side
(ditch) of the Forestry Road to increase flows downstream into the overwintering and
rearing pond, converted 75m of the roadside watercourse into spawning habitat and
constructed a 110m long spawning channel on the downstream (west) side of the
road;
Improvements to Branch 100 Creek including reconstructing the spillway to re-water
the 12,000 m2 wetland and improve flow and spawning habitat and construct a berm to
maintain water levels in the over-wintering and rearing pond; and
Modifications to the Ashlu off-channel habitats including cleaning out the four culverts
along the Forestry Road, construction of 4 new spawning channels on the north side of
the road (upstream of the culverts) to improve water conveyance to each of the 4
culvert crossings and deter beaver dam activity, riparian planting of native species to
provide shade and habitat complexity, and the installation of beaver control fencing.
These works all provide important improvements to habitat for salmonids including chum
salmon, coho salmon, pink salmon, steelhead salmon, and juvenile Chinook salmon as well
as other fisheries and wildlife.
