Agreement No. G1400661 between the
Washington State Department of ECOLOGY and City of Auburn
Project Title: Mill Creek Restoration
Scope of Work
Project Title: Mill Creek Restoration
Description Background
Mill Creek was historically an active floodplain surrounded by a broad wetland
community. As the area developed, Mill Creek has been straightened and the land
cleared; first for agricultural purposes and then urban and industrial development. In
the project reach, Mill Creek has been channelized to facilitate agricultural activities
that ceased by the early 1990s. Currently, invasive plant species have overrun the
channel and floodplain; thereby interrupting natural riparian processes and significantly
degrading habitat function within the Creek. The project reach is currently
characterized by a wide, flat plain; dominated by non-native invasive reed canary
grass. Reed canary grass chokes the undersized stream channel and contributes to
frequent flood events.
Proiect
The project would restore stream and floodplain along an estimated one mile of Mill
Creek. The project would create and enhance stream channel, increase floodplain
connectivity and storage(approximately 17.5 acre-feet of new storage), and re-
vegetate approximately 19 acres of riparian habitat. This project is a joint effort
between the City of Auburn and the United States Army Corps of Engineers
(USACOE).
Scope of Work
The design of the project has been completed and a plan set is currently under review.
The funding provided by this grant agreement will be applied to the costs of pre-
construction activities (invasive species removal) and property acquisition necessary to
implement the project.
The property to be acquired (King County Assessor's parcel numbers: 1221049037,
1221049038, 1221049039, 1221049007) is a vacant 21.12-acre site consisting of four
degraded wetland parcels located between State Route-167 (SR-167) and West Valley
Highway N in Auburn. The site is dominated with invasive, non-native reed canary
grass, and native willow species are found along portions of Mill Creek. The existing
stream channel has aggraded with sediments transported from its upper reaches on
West Hill, which then settle out in the project reach as the gradient of the stream bed
decreases markedly. The existing 6' x 8' culvert crossing at 15th Street NW has
approximately 30 percent of its volume filled with sediment, and is a documented
hydraulic conveyance restriction.
Mill Creek, a salmonid-bearing stream, currently flows along the eastern portion of the
property, ranging between 150-300 feet from SR-167. The property is critical to the
project as it is required to facilitate the project's planned relocation of the Mill Creek
stream channel 300-500 feet further to the west, away from SR-167 and the
replacement of the existing 6' x 8' box culvert at 15th Street NW with a 20-foot wide, fish
passable stream simulation culvert. Without the acquisition of the property, the
RECIPIENT would not be able to construct the project.

of it by this agreement, the DEPARTMENT may refuse to pay any further funds there under and/or
terminate this agreement by giving written notice of termination.

be good cause to terminate this agreement as provided in paragraph K.1 above.

with Section O herein.

agreement to uses other than those for which assistance was originally approved without prior written
