Quarterly Project Report Update for Quarter Ending March 2005

Project Title & Location
SR 106 / Skobob Creek - Fish Passage

Project Description
This project is the state's contribution to a partnership project that replaces a fish barrier culvert with a bridge.

Contractor/Consultant
Project has been advertised, but not awarded.

Recent Progress

This project, located on the Skokomish Indian Reservation, is a cooperative effort between the Hood Canal Salmon Enhancement Group (HCSEG), the Skokomish Tribal Nation and the Washington State Department of Transportation.  Environmental documentation and permitting is complete.  The project design and plan set is also complete.  The project was advertised on March 7, 2005.

Design Construction Impacts
The project was designed for the HCSEG and the Skokomish Tribal Nation by consultant in 2003.  The construction phase of the project will be administered by the WSDOT.   WSDOT and the consultant have updated the project design, project plans, cost estimate and specifications .  WSDOT has coordinated environmental documentation and permitting to prepare the project for advertisement.  

Environmental Impacts / Compliance
Environmental permitting for the project requires that creek restoration work occurring in the Skobob Creek channel be completed between July 15 and September 15.  This requirement ensures that during this period migrating fish will not be impacted by construction of the project.  In addition temporary erosion, sediment, and spill control measures are included in the project.

Impacts to Traffic
SR 106 in the vicinity of the Skobob Creek crossing will close during the bridge construction.  Detour routes will be provided.  Local access in the vicinity of the bridge construction will be allowed.  A comprehensive public awareness campaign will be used to alert the public of the closure.
