Elk River NRCA (HR) 2006
- Status
- Funded in 2007
The Department of Natural Resources will use this grant to remove significant areas of fill from bridge approaches, old roads and railroads in Andrews Creek and the Elk River estuary. The estuary is a nationally recognized wetland system with large, high quality salt marshes, wetlands and freshwater streams. Restoration of marshes and wetlands will restore hydrologic function and fish passage where freshwater streams enter the estuary of Andrew’s Creek.
Location
The project area is adjacent to Bay city, 3 miles east of Westport and 16 miles SW of Aberdeen in southern Grays Harbor County. From Aberdeen the site is accessed via Highway 105 and private logging roads (John's river road turnoff.) IAC staff will need a DNR escort to navigate roads and gates.
