Mashel River ELJs
In 2004 SPSSEG and the Nisqually Indian Tribe placed 7 ELJs in the lower 0.7 miles of the Mashel River. In 2006-2007, an additional 13 log jams were installed.
Funding was provided by SRFB, USFWS, and NFWF.
The logjams won the American Council of Engineering Companies’ highest award for WA State Projects: a Gold Award in the category of “original or innovative application of new or existing techniques” with the engineering designs of Herrera Environmental Consultants.
