Klickitat County
The raft runs on the White Salmon River as well as the Klickitat River from roughly 3 miles upstream of the hatchery are located in Klickitat County.
Depending the extent to which woody debris is removed from streams (e.g. removal of one dead tree vs. removal of several living or dead trees), the following may apply:
Klickitat County’s Shoreline Plan may prohibits removal of natural vegetation 50’ landward from the OHWM (e.g. removal of trees or branches that overhang the river)
Klickitat County’s Floodplain Ordinance may apply if the removal of woody debris will cause flooding downstream
Klickitat County’s Critical Areas Ordinance may apply if fish habitat is adversely affected. The WDFW or other qualified professional biologist would need to substantiate such a claim prior to the County taking action.
