The Dave Marshall Salmon Reserve Restoration project focused on restoring, upgrading, and
maintaining several ground water and river intake channels of the Cheakamus River. The
project is located at the Cheakamus Centre (School District #44) in Squamish, British
Columbia. The project targeted habitat improvements for coho, chum, pink, Chinook, and
steelhead salmon. As well, benefits extend to other salmonid, amphibian, bird and wildlife
species.
The project fits 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 offchannel
areas for all salmonids.
This project builds upon the work undertaken in the 3 phases of Evans Creek Re-watering
projects funded by FWCP and links to and benefit the Evans Creek Re-watering project but is
a standalone project in that it concentrates on upgrades and improvements to the Dave
Marshall Salmon Reserve.
There were slight modifications to the works schedule in the 2016/2017 season. The intake at
Far Point was upgraded to a 3 ft diameter pipe along with a new intake structure and the Far
Point head pond was cleaned out early in 2016. The field season concentrated on upgrades
to weir structures and flow split upgrades at Coho Connector and Birth of a Stream North and
South, removal of obstructions and woody debris in Wountie Channel and Mykiss Channel,
and bridge upgrades at various locations including Birth of a Stream North and South.
Cleanup of Gorbuscha Channel and Duck Pond head ponds were also completed. The valve
replacement of Eagle Point Intake was also completed replacing the butterfly valve with a
more robust flow control structure. The extension of Kiwi Channel now ties directly into the
downstream Evans Creek Re-watering project.
