Salmon ~ Snow Creek
Estuary Restoration
Project


After years of planning, NOSC would like to announce that construction on the Salmon Estuary Fill Removal Project has begun!

After several years of planning by our project partners, and tremendous financial support from our funding sources, the work has started!... Seton Construction has cleared the sites in preparation for excavation. Trees and buildings were removed at the end of July. They have excavated trenches around project footprints to de-water the areas prior to fill removal...
