Background Summary:
The City of Auburn and Water Resource Inventory Area 9 (WRIA 9) first identified the Fenster Levee
setback project on the Green River in Auburn as a priority salmon habitat project when developing the
WRIA 9 Salmon Habitat Plan in 2000. The City of Auburn applied for and received Salmon Recovery
Funding funds through the Washington State Recreation and Conservation office to complete Phase
I of the Fenster Levee setback project in 2006. The City of Auburn completed Phase I of the project in
2008 which involved approximately 700 feet of levee improvement, the placement of large woody
debris and rock armoring, and the planting of native riparian trees and shrubs. The City of Auburn
applied for Washington State Recreation and Conservation office Salmon Recovery Funding Board
funds in 2009 in order to complete Phase 11 of the Fenster Levee setback project which will setback
an additional segment of levee immediately adjacent to the north of the first phase of the project near
River Mile 32 on the Green River. Project components include approximately 880 feet of levee
setback, re -attachment of a large forested swale to the river for off -channel habitat and fish refuge,
increased area for floodwater quieting and storage, removal of invasive plans, native plant
revegetation, and the installation of large woody debris at the toe of the new levee. This project will
allow for greater movement of the Green River during the winter high flow period and increased flood
storage, providing both greater protection of downstream property, and also refugia for threatened
salmon and steelhead on the Green River. The site for this phase of the project is adjacent to the

elle site is adjacent to the downstream end of an intact two-mile long riparian corridor along the Green River within
the Fenster Nature Park (Auburn) and the Auburn Narrows Natural Area (King County) and is adjacent to two SRF13
funded restoration projects. This proposal entails setting back the final approximately 880 -foot long segment of the
Fenster Levee that has not already been set back from its existing location at the top of the bank In order to restore
instream, riparian and floodplain habitat. This levee setback project would complete years of work by the city and the
county to set back or completely remove all of the levees within a two-mile stretch of high quality habitat between this
Ilroposed project site and the SR -18 bridge.
T fie area is largely vegetated by deciduous trees (some of which are relatively mature) and shrubs. An existing swale
lies landward of the current levee prism, which Is immediately adjacent to the river bank. Asa result, the floodplain is
sconnected from the river and cannot serve as off -channel habitat or help to attenuate fast water velocities during
f rods when large numbers of juvenile salmonids Including ESA -fisted Chinook and steelhead are either incubating
c r rearing in this part of the Green River. This segment of the Green River is also heavily used by several species of
s ,�i lrnon and trout for spawning and migration. After construction of the levee setback, the site will be replanted and
monitored by the Veteran's Conservation Carps in partnership with the City of Auburn.

Press Release Template
City of Auburn offered grant to restore land for salmon recovery.
(Auburn) - City of Auburn was awarded a grant of $304,103.00 from the Salmon Program. The grant
was awarded by the Salmon Recovery Funding Board (SRFB), and will be used for the following:
The City of Auburn will use this grant to set back the final 880 feet of the Fenster levee to
restore habitat in the Green River and Its floodplain. This project will complete years of
work by Auburn and King County to set back or completely remove all levees within a
2 -mile stretch of high quality habitat between this project site and the State Route 18
bridge. Combined with the worm previously done, this final project reconnects the
floodplain to the river, providing off -channel habitat for large numbers of juvenile salmon,
Including Endangered Species Act -listed Chinook and steelhead. This part of the Green
River also is heavily used by several species of salmon and trout for spawning and
migration. After construction of the levee setback, the site will be replanted and monitored
by the Veteran's Conservation Corps in partnership with the city. In aggregate, these
projects also increase storage of floodwaters, reducing the risk of flooding downstream.
Auburn will contribute $53,605 from a local grant and cash.
There were one hundred applications submitted for consideration in the Salmon Program. Each project
went through an evaluation process prior to being recommended for funding. The SRFB Board
approved funding for projects on Thursday, December 10, 2009.
Funding for the Salmon Program comes from funds administered by NOAA Fisheries. City of Auburn
will leverage local contributions totaling $53,005.00 with grant monies to implement the project. Total
estimated project cost is $357,708.00. SRFB is the state's administrator of the grant program.
