DESCRIPTION
Deer creek is a upper Puyallup river tributary. Itis located approximately 0.6 miles below Swift creek,
on the opposite bank. Deer creek is above the
Electron diversion, so as with many of the other
tributary in the upper Puyallup, it is part of thesurplus adult chinook and coho planting program.
Deer creek is not
surveyed with anyregularity, but instead
it is spot checked to
see howsuccessful the
adult plants
are. The creekis confined by
moderate to
steep walls.The gradient is
moderate with
numerous deep pools and good spawningmedium. Deer creek is one of the few stream
in late summer and early fall with adequate
water flow to plant adult chinook. Surplusadult chinook are planted in late summer toearly fall, and coho in late fall when available.
Adult plant have been taking place since 1997
(above right), yet no natural returns have beendocumented.
River miles surveyed: 0.0 to 1.0Date Surveyed: Not surveyed in 2003
Species surveyed: Chinook, Coho
Access
Mile 0.5: Deer creek is located just of the
main line on the 2 road. Take the leftspur that is gated just past the cowskull
acclimation pond road.

DESCRIPTIONDiru Creek Hatchery is located on Diru
Creek (10.0029) a tributary to Clarks Creek
in Puyallup, Washington. Water is suppliedfrom two pumped wells (800 gpm) and gravity
flow out of Diru Creek (200-500 gpm).
Incubation consists of 20 vertical stacks of 12trays. Initial rearing uses 16 shallow troughs
in the hatchery building. Additional rearing
containers include four 50x5x5 raceways,two 6696 cubic foot ponds (UP1 and UP2),
and one 13,000 cubic foot pond (below,left)
that are also used for holding returningadults.
In addition, the Puyallup Tribe operates
six acclimation ponds in the PuyallupWatershed.
Three of the acclimation ponds are used for
reintroducing fall chinook and coho into a 30-mile
reach in the Upper Puyallup River above ElectronDam. Electron Dam has been an anadromous barrier
for 97 years. A fish ladder was construction andcompleted in fall of 2000. Three other acclimationponds are located in the Upper White River drainage.
These ponds are used for reintroducing White River
spring chinook back into their endemic range. Allponds have approximately 10,000 cubic feet of rearing
space and between 1 to 3 cubic feet per second flow.
The Puyallup Tribes restoration goal is to rebuilddepressed chinook stocks and remove them from ESA listing. Using acclimation ponds,
limiting harvest, and making substantial gains in habitat
restoration, the tribe will be able to accomplish this task.Levee setbacks, oxbow reconnections both inter tidal and
upland, Commencement Bay cleanup, and harvestcutbacks have already been initiated. Only the jump-starting of chinook in habitat areas devoid of fish is left.
Acclimation ponds are a proven method in increasing fish
numbers on the spawning grounds. Hatchery rearing200,000 fall chinook for release on station and 200,000

for acclimation ponds in the upper
Puyallup river for a combined 6,857
pounds of fish. Historically, fallchinook have been reared since 1980
with a variety of stocks, goals, and
objectives.Spring Chinook Hatchery
Production The three-acclimation ponds thePuyallup Tribe operates are satellite
facilities to the White River and
Minter Creek Hatcheries. Productionlevels have been around 400,000
smolts, however, it fluctuates based
on available brood stock. They have aproduction capacity of 837,000 zero
age smolts.
Fall Coho Hatchery ProductionCurrently, 200,000 coho yearlings
are imprinted and released in theUpper Puyallup Watershed. Coho originate from Voights Creek Hatchery where
100,000 are adipose clipped and coded wire tagged. Fish are released at 20 fish perpound, for a total biomass of 10,000 pounds.
Winter Chum Hatchery Production
The Puyallup Tribe currently raises 1.5 to 2.3 million-chum smolts for release intothe lower Puyallup River. This program significantly augments a Tribal river fishery
and All Citizen purse seine fishery in East and West Pass in Puget Sound. This stock
originated initially from Chambers Creek. Puyallup Tribal Fisheries releases 1000 to3000 pounds annually based on available brood stock returns to Diru Creek Hatchery.
The program was started in 1991 and
has become self-sustaining.
Adult chum salmon are spawned three days aweek or more during the peak of the run. Asmany as 2,700 fish may be processed in a day.

DOLLAR CREEKWRIA: 10.0412 - PUYALLUP RIVER 2003 - 2004
DESCRIPTION
The surveyed reach of Dollar creek
flows within the Puyallup river channelalong the right bank (bottom left). The
channel changes from year to year with
Puyallup river high water events butprovides excellent spawning gravel
throughout this reach. At the Dollar
launch, the channel heads away from thePuyallup and drains an old oxbow adjacent
to the dike. Passage out of the Puyallup
River channel is questionable and no fishwere observed above this point, however
extensive surveys were not conducted. It
is quite likely that the upper reaches ofDollar provide over-wintering habitat for
multiple species of juvenile salmonids.
Upstream photo showing Dollar creek as it flows
through the Puyallup River channel. The Puyallup
river can be seen i the upper right side of t hephoto. Due to low and inte rmit tent flows, only
chum are typically seen spawning in the creek.

DESCRIPTIONPuget Sound Energys
Electron Hydroelectric
facility utilizes water
diverted from the Puyallupriver at RM 41.7 (right
photo). The diverted water
is channeled 10.1 milesthrough a flume and
settling pond before
collecting into a smallreservoir (forebay). The
water held in the forebay
is used to generate powervia four turbines located in the power house approximately 800 feet below the forebay.
Upon entering the forebay, water flow is diverted towards the trap by large steel
plates suspended by buoys. A exclusionary guide net is also in place across the forebayduring the annual smolt migration period. Many of the smolts caught during this
period are fish released from holding ponds above the diversion dam. These efforts are
made to direct the fish into the trap, where theyare crowded into a hopper and then deposited into
a holding tank. Fish are dip-netted into a
container, anesthetized, identified, measured
(above right) and placed in a water trailer for
transport down to the powerhouse wherethey are released into the Puyallup Riverat RM 31.4.

DESCRIPTION
The upper reach (above) of Fennel creek is
a complex, moderately high gradient pool-riffle/step-pool stream flowing through a broad valley.
The riparian zone consists of a mature
hardwood forest with a dense understory ofsalmonberry. There is abundant LWD in and
adjacent to the channel with numerous logjams
throughout this section. Spawning gravel is abundant and excellent throughout thisreach along with many deep pools. The reach below the McCutcheon Rd. bridge is much
lower gradient (below), it flows primarily in the Puyallup River flood plain. It contains
excellent if somewhat unstable spawning gravels, with much lower amounts of LWD andless channel complexity. Approximately 0.2 miles upstream of the McCutcheon bridge is
a LB short run spring fed
tributary. It hasexcellent spawning
gravel and supports high
densities of chumsalmon each year. Coho
and chum totals on thefollowing pages includeboth Fennel creek, and
Fennel tributary data
combined.

DESCRIPTION
From 0.6 to 0.5 Fox creek is a moderate
gradient step-pool stream with good poolfrequency and adequate hardwood riparian cover.
From 0.5 to 0.3 the gradient decreases and the
channel assumes a pool-riffle character withexcellent spawning gravels. This middle reach
sees the highest spawning densities. From 0.3 to
the confluencewith the Puyallup,
the stream
meanders througha grassy area with
little riparian
cover andm o d e r a t e
amounts of fine
m a t e r i a lobscuring the
g r a v e l l y
substrate. Thereare few mature conifers in this reach althoughmany young Grand firs have been planted as a
restoration effort. Coho are the most common
salmonid found in Fox and likely ascend as farup as the Kapowsin tree farms 6 Rd.

DESCRIPTION
The Greenwater River is a right bank tributaryto the upper mainstem White river. It supports
large runs of steelhead, chinook and coho
salmon. It is surveyed for both Chinook and
steelhead by the Washington Department of Fishand Wildlife, but not for coho. The upper White
rivers coho escapement is derived from countsmade at
the Army
Corps of
EngineersBuckley trap.
It is a medium sized, low gradient pool-riffle
stream with abundant high quality spawning gravel.Much of it flows through Forest service land and
the riparian zone is primarily second growth conifer
and hardwoods. While there is fair amounts of LWDin the channel, the average size reflects the
surrounding forest and is
small. What large wood existsis usually quite old.

DESCRIPTION
Huckleberry creek is a large left banktributary to the Upper White River. The lower
0.3 milesconsists of
a low
g r a d i e n toccasionally
b r a i d e d
channel with a hardwood riparian zone. Thespawning gravel in this reach is excellent and this
lower reach consistently supports the highest
densities of spawners each season. Above the lower
bridge the gradient increases slightly but the gravelquality remains very good if slightly larger and more
patchy in nature. The riparian corridor contains old
growth conifers upstream of the acclimation pond.The pond is used for acclimating spring chinook which
are planted in March, and released in May or early
June.

found in the past in this survey reach. Thechannel above and below the bridge is
moderately low gradient and somewhat incised.
The riparian flora consists of reed canary grassand alder, with a section of bamboo along a
landowners property. The substrate is very
compacted with large amounts of fine materialand some smaller gravel. The channel segment
most often surveyed extends from 373rd St.,
upstream to the Montessori school at Hwy. 99.Frequent channel dredging at 373rd St. is
performed by the city of Federal Way in response
to gravel deposition problems.

DESCRIPTION
Ipsut creek is a moderate gradient left banktributary to the upper Carbon River. It flows
entirely through Mt. Rainier National Park. The
riparian zone consists of old growth cedar, firand hemlock contributing large woody debris
and diversity to the channel. There is a large
falls located at approximately R.M. 0.7 whichis a barrier to any farther upstream migration.
Ipsut has been surveyed primarily for
chinook and coho, but also in the spring forsteelhead. No salmon or redds
have been observed. Reasons for
the absence of anadromous fishare likely related to the streams
location within the basin, and the
general lack of suitable spawninggravel within the lower fish
accessible reach. Char usage has
been documented by Park service
biologists, but surveys conductedby tribal staff in 2000 and 2001
did not reveal any adult char
spawning activity.

DESCRIPTION
There is suitable spawning gravelthroughout the survey reach although much
of it is patchy in nature. There is anabundance of downed trees within the
channel along with several sizable logjams.
Cattle have been allowed access to thestream channel at approximately RM 1.7.
Houses are present along the creek between
RM 0.5 and RM 2.0, as well as manmaderock structures that alter the channel along
this stretch. Most of the stream has a dense
riparian zone consisting of firs, alders andsalmonberries. Pierce County conducted a
bank revetment project in the summer of
2002 (left photo). This project was done toprotect Orville road.

KELLOG CREEKWRIA: 10.0621 - PUYALLUP RIVER 2003 - 2004
River miles surveyed: 0.0 to 2.0
Dates surveyed: 3/15/04 to 5/14/04Species surveyed: Steelhead
Access
Mile 2.0: The Kapowsin tree farms mainlinecrosses Kellog creek at the 8 Rd. junction. To
survey this reach and not double walk you
must cross the mainstem Puyallup at the Kellogconfluence and walk downstream 0.5 miles and
up 0.3 miles of LeDout creek to the 62 Rd.
DESCRIPTIONFrom RM 2.0 to 1.6 the creek flows through
a moderate gradient step-pool channel with
patchy gravel. The riparian zone consists of athin mature 2nd growth conifer buffer on both
sides. There is a large amount of wind-throw in
the channel associated with this buffer. Below
this the gradient eases and excellent spawninggravel is consistently available to the confluence
with the Puyallup. The riparian area is more
intact through the lower 1.5 miles, similar toabove but no recent harvest activities have
compromised it.
Typical habitat
found in the lowerreach of Kellogcreek.

KLICKITAT CREEKWRIA: 10.0357 - WHITE RIVER 2003 - 2004
River miles surveyed: 0.1 to 0.3Dates surveyed: 9/8/03 to 9/19/03
Species surveyed: Bull trout (Char)
AccessMile 0.3: Turn onto the Sunrise rd off of HWY
410 in Mt. Rainier National Park. A bridge
crosses Klickitat creek in approximately 2
miles. Walk down the right bank staying highin the draw for about 200 yards to avoid the
steep valley walls till the cascades are reached.
DESCRIPTIONKlickitat creek is a small right bank
tributary to the upper White river. It flowswithin Mt. Rainier National Park and enters the
White River below Sunrise rd.
The first 0.3 miles is low gradient withexcellent spawning gravel and large amounts
of LWD. Numerous deep pools and side
channels provide excellent habitat for juvenilefish. A series of bedrock falls and cascades
at R.M. 0.3 blocks any further upstream
migration. Klickitat creek has been surveyedsince 1999, but no salmon have been seen.
Bull trout from the mainstem White are
observed spawning in the creek early in thefall however, and juvenile bull trout have been
observed in the pools and lateral habitat
during these surveys. During the 2002 and2003 survey seasons, char floy tagged at
the USACE trap in Buckley were observedspawning in the creek. The char in the left
photo were observed in 2003, the green floy
tags are visible near the dorsal fins.
Typical habitat throughout Klickit at creek. Thelocation in the photo is about 40 mete rs below a
series of bedrock falls and cascades at R.M. 0.3
that blocks any further upstream m igration.
