West Hylebos Stream Stabilization

Green Marker West Hylebos Stream Stabilization

In 2005, The city of Federal Way Surface Water Management completed a large woody debris and stream stabilization project that treated 1,200 feet of Hylebos Creek. Engineered log jams were placed at several locations along this severely degrading stream reach. Designed to trap sediment, the log jams are expected to enhance salmon habitat and reduce downstream sand deposition and flooding.
