The Tsuk-si-tay side channel portion of the Nitinat
River Watershed Restoration Project was initiated in
1998. Caycuse River and Campus Creek are the two
main tributaries of the lower Nitinat River, emptying
into Nitinat Lake, located on the south west coast of
Vancouver Island (Figure 1). During the spring of 1998,
an initial field reconnaissance and an overview
assessment (FHAP) of Caycuse River and Campus
Creek were conducted. The assessment indicated the
highest priority for stream restoration would be through
creating off-channel habitat in the Caycuse River
watershed (Taylor, 1998). During the summer of 1998,
the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, Habitat
Restoration Department was involved in selecting a site
for development of the side channel. The location was a
relic channel, located along the toe of the slope at the
edge of the flood plain. Features such as bedrock
outcrops near the top of the channel would provide
excellent flood protection. The side channel would
parallel the lower Caycuse River, where it empties into
Nitinat Lake.
