The existing swales are approaching the end of the media's effective life. New media will be required to replace the existing depleted media in the near future. A portion of the existing swales will be used to test the new media, which is designed to reduce the amount of phosphorus and other pollutants entering the lake. Preliminary testing has shown the new media is much more effective in removal of phosphorus than more traditional media. If tests show significant improvement over the original media, the media will be adopted as a Best Management Practice (BMP) and be included in the updated WDOE Stormwater Manual.

Baker Highway (SR 542). During high-water events of the 2017/2018 winter, the North Fork Nooksack River eroded the unprotected bank of Truck Road to within 13 feet of the roadway surface. This prompted an emergency project to construct a passive riprap revetment underneath a section of the roadway to provide immediate protection. Flooding during 2020 eroded the remaining bank exposing the recently constructed riprap revetment and destabilizing a portion of the north bound lane. Jersey barriers were placed by county crews to block off this lane to traffic. Additional erosion sustained the November 2021 floods, threatened the road downstream of the previous damage area. The FCZD undertook an emergency project to address the immediate threat to truck road. Additional work is needed to provide environmental mitigation for that action and to repair and realign the damaged section of road. Project Status: The FCZD has completed the emergency repair and is currently designing and permitting the associated Phase 2 project that will provide environmental mitigation and road repair.

Since construction, the levee has been subject to ongoing damage. Constriction of the Glacier -Gallup channel migration zone (CMZ) has exacerbated aggradation upstream of SR 542 and severely degraded fish habitat. WSDOT replaced the Gallup Creek bridge in 2010 and is working to construct a new bridge over Glacier Creek and the alluvial fan between the two creeks. The FCZD is developing a project in coordination with WSDOT and is evaluating the feasibility of full or partial removal of levees blocking natural channel migration on the Glacier and Gallup Creeks alluvial fan and construction of a setback levee on Gallup Creek to protect the Community of Glacier. Project Status: A feasibility study and alternatives analysis for evaluating levee removal and setback alternatives was initiated in late 2018. Preliminary design of the preferred alternative will be initiated once the preferred alternative is selected. Construction of an interim project to address levee damage was completed in 2023. Construction of the levee removal and setback is anticipated to occur concurrently with the Glacier Creek bridge replacement in 2027 and 2028.

The property contained a dilapidated farm house. Project Status: FCZD purchased the subject property and demolished the farm house in Fall of 2020. The FCZD has installed a groundwater monitoring network on the site to support developing a long-term restoration plan for the site.

Improvements to the levee geometry are proposed in two locations and improvement to address seepage is proposed at a third location. Project Status: A conceptual design has been developed as part of the System -wide Improvement Framework (SWIF) planning process. Detailed design has not been initiated yet. However, we were able to complete a portion of the levee backsloping work at one site using excess material generated at the 2021 Abbott and Lynden Levee Improvement projects.

The goal of this work is to reduce flood risk and expenditures and restore habitat and the processes that form it. Voluntary acquisition of lands is proposed to enable future levee reconfigurations to reduce flood risk and future levee repairs, while improving habitat. Project Status: Acquisition of one property in Reach 4 was completed in 2020. Discussions with additional property owners will occur in 2021 and 2022.

Project Status: Property acquisition began in 2001 and is ongoing. As properties are acquired, structures are removed and native vegetation is planted. All acquisitions are voluntary and the project is ongoing as current property owners decide to sell their properties. Total project cost will need to include funding for cleanup of up to four former gas stations, though the exact nature of the work is still undefined.

A legal settlement resulting from that event directs Whatcom County to prepare a creek management plan. Sediment management in the watershed including the 3400 feet of County owned right of way east of Kendall Creek is an important plan element along with fish habitat mitigation. State permits for future maintenance dredging are dependent on consistency with the final management plan. A management plan was developed and recommended the construction of two sediment traps, one sited upstream of Mount Baker Highway to trap coarser material and one by the confluence with Kendall Creek to trap finer material. The sediment traps were constructed in 2018. The project provides for the annual clean out of those sediment traps. Project Status: The 2023 clean out is anticipated to be complete in September 2023 for a cost of $80,000. Total Estimated Cost is for annual estimated cleanout costs funded by the FCZD.
