INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
TO: Transportation and Infrastructure Services Committee
FROM: Hari Ponnekanti, Public Works Director/ City Engineer
BY: Brittany Robinson, Public Works Grant Analyst
CC: Mayor Ekberg
DATE: November 4, 2022
SUBJECT: Surface Water Fund — Nelsen Side Channel, Gilliam Creek, Riverton Creek
Project No. 91641203, 99830105, 99830103,
King County Cooperative Watershed Management Grant Award
ISSUE
Accept a King County Cooperative Watershed Management (CWM) grant award to fund the Gilliam Creek Fish Barrier
Removal, Nelsen Side Channel, and Riverton Creek Projects.
BACKGROUND
Nelsen Side Channel
The project will open up one acre of off -channel floodplain habitat and restore another acre of riparian forest by setting back a
levee and reconnecting the river with its historic channel.
Gilliam Creek Fish Barrier Removal
The project will create fish passage between Gilliam Creek and the Green River in Tukwila. Gilliam Creek is mostly
inaccessible to aquatic species due to the presence of a 1960s era 108" -diameter flapgate at the outlet of a 207 -foot -long
culvert beneath 66th Ave. S.
Riverton Creek Flapgate Removal
The project was completed in 2021. This project restored fish access to Riverton Creek and reestablished previously
inaccessible rearing habitat at the confluence with the Duwamish River. In the early months of 2021, plants were installed to
restore vegetation at the project site. Actively managing the restored vegetation during the plant establishment period is
critical to ensuring that the restoration is successful, our investments are protected, and grantee obligations are met.
DISCUSSION
The City recently received notification that it was awarded King County CWM grant funding for design of both the Nelsen Side
Channel and Gilliam Creek Fish Barrier Removal projects, as well as vegetation maintenance for the Riverton Creek project.
FISCAL IMPACT
The City has been awarded $390,000 from the King County CWM. King County requires leverage to ensure that there is full
project funding. Leverage can come from other grant match or local City match. The majority of the leverage for these projects
will come from other grant sources, with the exception of $17,032 in match for the Riverton Creek Project. The City match for
the Riverton Creek project will come from the Green the Green CIP budget, which supports ongoing maintenance of
vegetation. The $55,000 budgeted in 2023 is sufficient to cover the City match.

Gilliam Creek Fish
Barrier Removal
and Habitat
Enhancement
City of
Tukwila
Create fish passage between Gilliam Creek and
the Green River in Tukwila. Gilliam Creek is
mostly inaccessible to aquatic species due to
the presence of a 1960s era 108" -diameter
flapgate at the outlet of a 207 -foot -long
culvert beneath 66th Ave. S.

Project Locations:
Project No. 1: The project is located on the Green River at the confluence with Gilliam Creek in the highly
developed Southcenter area of Tukwila. The project will improve the following habitats: mainstem edge,
confluence, and tributary. Within the Green-Duwamish watershed, this project is located within the lower Green
River, upstream of the salt wedge, but still tidally influenced. The lower Green River watershed is characterized by
its levee -restricted banks and massive warehousing district. The primary limiting factor for Chinook salmon
recovery in the lower Green is rearing habitat. The site has a narrow buffer of mixed vegetation, with a mature
cottonwood canopy; there are two local road stormwater outlets in the project area.
Project No. 2: The project is located on the right bank of the lower Green River at river mile 12.5-12.6, within the
highly developed Southcenter area of Tukwila. The project will improve mainstem edge habitat, off channel rearing
and restore adjacent riparian areas. This project lies within the tidally -influenced reach of Puget Sound, but
upstream of the salt wedge. The lower Green River watershed is characterized by its levee -restricted banks and
massive warehousing district. The primary limiting factors for Chinook salmon recovery in the lower Green are
rearing habitat and water quality, especially temperature. The site has a narrow buffer of mixed vegetation, with a
mature cottonwood canopy.
Project No. 3: The site is across the river from the Duwamish Gardens and Chinook Wind habitat restoration
projects, and adjacent to the SR 599 off ramp to Tukwila International Boulevard. It is located at Duwamish River
Mile 6.5, left bank.
