Bibliography of Vancouver Lake watershed, including Burnt Bridge Creek, Flushing Channel, Lake River, and Salmon Creek

A history of restoration efforts for Vancouver Lake

R2 Resource Consultants, Inc. 2004. Kalama, Washougal and Lewis River Habitat Assessments: Chapter 5, The Salmon Creek Basin. Longview, WA: Lower Columbia Fish Recovery Board.

Protection/Restoration Opportunities: The habitat conditions for the Salmon Creek basin were reviewed and data from stream surveys and riparian analysis were synthesized into appropriate opportunities for preservation and/or protection throughout the basin. Potential restoration opportunities were prioritized by (1) emphasizing preservation and protection of areas that currently function normally, (2) considering actions that help to restore overall system function and (3) considering the distribution of and likely habitat use by anadromous salmonids fishes.

Recommended categories of management actions for the improvement of riparian conditions in the Salmon Creek Basin, include protecting existing riparian vegetation and promoting recovery were possible. Efforts to preclude future human-induced encroachment into the riparian zone or reversal of prior encroachment should be considered. Riparian improvements are limited in lower Salmon Creek mainstem since these reaches likely offered a naturally low levels of shade and wood recruitment potential. The reaches lying in the existing and historic floodplan likely experienced a frequent disturbance history in the riparian zone. Lake River appears to lie in a historic side channel of the Columbia River.

With respect to in-channle habitat restoration opportunities, the large floodplain reaches have a good level of stream power. Wood placement opportunities may be restricted to massive engineered log-jams in the unconstrained portions of the lower Salmon Creek and Lake River. Wood placement is occurring in the tributary reaches and should be encouraged at sites where the structures have a good likelihood of remaining during storm events.
