Boise Creek Golf Course Restoration Final Design

Herrera designed and provided supporting engineering and permitting documents to realign a 1,800-foot-long reach of this highly productive salmon spawning stream to separate it from active golf course areas while improving habitat conditions. The project reach through Enumclaw Golf Course is particularly productive salmon spawning ground, including for ESA-listed steelhead and spring Chinook salmon, but was impaired due to lack of a riparian corridor and in-channel hydraulic complexity. In addition to habitat benefits, this project will reduce flooding that repeatedly impacted golf course operations. Herrera assisted the City in convening technical advisory committee meetings with staff from various City departments, Puyallup Tribe of Indians representatives, and property owners. Herrera also provided specialty construction oversight with regards to the stream and landscape elements. Construction of creek relocation is complete, while the second phase related to Chappel Springs will be constructed in 2024.
