Who Cares About The Kokanee Anyway
?
By Donald J. Sherrard, SLS Board Member
Kokanee, the vanishing redfish of Lake Sammamish, dates back millennia, to the last ice age when Sockeye salmon became land-locked and adapted to a fresh water lifecycle. The Sammamish Kokanee eventually evolved as two separate subspecies, one of which spawned in the summer (the summer run, officially declared extinct in November 2003), the other spawning in the winter. It was the dominant fish species in the lake through the middle of the 20th century. As such, it was a major food source for Native Americans and early settlers.
Generally spawning in streams or along the lake shore, the Kokanees’ decline has been a result of habitat destruction, and neglect. As an important “indicator species” it provides an instant barometer of the lake’s health. Its progression toward extinction is a parable of our times.
|
Save Lake Sammamish (SLS), an environmental group which has largely focused on protecting the lake and its watershed, became aware of the plight of the Kokanee more than 10 years ago. It has been a frustrating decade as various government agencies denied the existence of the problem, refused to recognize ongoing environmental degradation, and even participated in the destruction of spawning beds and fish. The Policies of the old Washington Department of Fisheries (WDF) and management at the Issaquah Fish Hatchery devastated the Issaquah Creek Kokanee run: WDF stocked the lake with non-native species such as bass, which eat young salmon. The Hatchery’s dam across Issaquah Creek prevented the Kokanee from reaching over 32 miles of their spawning grounds. Further, the Kokanee were incorrectly identified as the carrier of a virus which was dangerous to anadromous (sea going) salmon, so WDF tried to eliminated them entirely from the system. Without access to the habitat in Issaquah Creek for spawning, other small tributary creeks and the lake shoreline became even more important for Kokanee. However, those other Kokanee creeks were also under siege: I-90 cut across the Lake Sammamish watershed and every drop of grease oil and pollution from 13 ½ miles of roadway drained directly into the Lake Sammamish tributaries. The East Fork of Issaquah Creek, flowing from Preston to downtown Issaquah, was relocated from its original channel to make way for the highway. The North Fork (aka Jordan Creek), ended up in a series of culverts under the Front Street interchange. Tibbetts, Vasa and other small creeks were squeezed into culverts under I-90. Lewis creek was placed in a quarter mile long pipe, complete with a 90 degree bend and drop in elevation in the middle of it. Obviously, this barrier was impassable to fish and so the upper half of Lewis Creek was lost to Kokanee. |
Where Are The
Kokanee ? By Joanna A. Buehler, President, Save Lake Sammamish In winter 2004-05 Kokanee returning to spawn in their natal streams at the south end of Lake Sammamish were just one tenth the number of the previous year’s run. What happened? Possibilities include: big rains, flooding and mudflows in 1996-97 when their grandparents were spawning, but few eggs survived; more pollutants in the Lake; habitat destruction in creeks and lake; less food; warmer water; and/or more predators. The grim outlook for survival of the winter-run of wild, native Lake Sammamish Kokanee gets worse. Lewis Creek, which recently has supported the largest runs of these fish in the world is in real trouble. The hydrology has changed and sedimentation has increased. Please see the next story. Friends of Pine Lake, who have waged a six and a half year battle to save Ebright Creek, the last undeveloped creek in the City of Sammamish, have suffered a major setback. A ruling by the Superior Court permits the developers of Chestnut Lane to tightline stormwater from the new development directly into Ebright Creek. This major increase of flow will cause scour, erosion and sedimentation in Ebright Creek. Kokanee redds and eggs will be smothered by silt. Fewer Kokanee will survive. The summer-run Kokanee became extinct in 2003. The US Fish and Wildlife Service still refuses to respond to our petition, filed March 15, 2000, to protect these rare Kokanee under the provisions of the Endangered Species Act. The State Department of Fish and Wildlife proposes a monitoring plan, which will do nothing to help survival of the species.

Trees and other vegetation along the shoreline gave way to dense development. Pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers, paint, oil, soaps, pet wastes and other pollutants drained directly into the lake. Reeds and shoreline vegetation, essential nurseries for juvenile salmon, disappeared beneath bulkheads and fill. Variances and exemptions granted from regulations written to protect water quality and shoreline eviscerated the intended protection. Agencies and municipalities have turned a blind eye to much illegal construction and filling along the shoreline. SLS has requested, sometimes in legal actions, that such agencies enforce and abide by their own regulations. Kokanee habitat is scarce. |
In the late 1980’s SLS members became aware of the enormous Lakemont development planned for the upper reaches of Lewis Creek. Of particular concern was the construction plans for Lakemont Boulevard along the bed of Lewis Creek. In spite of community objections the City of Bellevue and King County granted over 100 variances from their own environmental regulations to allow the road to be constructed.
The various governmental agencies and the contractor assured us there would be little or no impact on the creek or lake from the development and specifically stated that the total transfer of soil into the lake during the construction would be less than 40 tons. The first large storm that occurred after construction began resulted in far more than 40 tons being deposited in Lake Sammamish. Remarkably, Kokanee continued to return to spawn in the lower reaches below I-90.
Two to three years ago the City of Bellevue began planning to build a ball park near the headwaters of Lewis Creek. Alarm bells went off and another disaster was anticipated. Bellevue assured the public that this was going to be a carefully done, environmentally sound project. Many wondered how they could do this, since it involved filling in of wetlands and exposing soil to erosion. It is unlikely that Bellevue would have approved a commercial development on this site. Curiously, they did not conduct a SEPA review, which they certainly would have required of a developer. In addition, they continued major earth moving activities throughout the winter months, a practice they often refused to allow developers in the area.
 |
As part of its King County’s Kokanee monitoring
program, SLS members and other volunteers counted fish in seven creeks
draining into Lake Sammamish. During late November and early December 2004,
weekly surveys counted 100 to 200 fish, spawning activity was observed and
redds were flagged in Lewis Creek below I-90. However, by mid-December,
following modest rainfall, massive amounts of sediment had buried the redds,
smothering the eggs. Kokanee return into Lewis Creek in winter 2004-2005 was just one-tenth the size that of the previous year. The source of the sediment in the lower reaches was not readily apparent. However, the only major change in the Lewis Creek drainage occurred in the headwater wetland. It was the 15 acres of cut and fill for the Ballfields at Lewis Creek Park. Observations of the Ballfield at that time revealed large areas of exposed dirt with erosion tracks running through many of these areas. Large machinery was actively working the property, despite the recent rains. |
These data (including photographs of the Ballfield site) and other observations were presented to the Bellevue Parks and Utilities Departments. About a month later, the City’s consultant called to discuss the issue with the writer. He stated that while the Park Department’s contractors were not following his recommendations, the sedimentation was not coming from there but from a development further upstream. After careful exploration, SLS members were unable to find any upstream development. Contacting the environmental consultant again to ask where this development was, he stated that he was wrong about that, but that there were slides downstream in the stream channel.
For Lewis Creek and the Kokanee, the problem is that the stream’s hydrology has changed. The Creek is trying to achieve equilibrium. If more water than the stream is used to carrying is poured into the channel at the top, the creek will have to cut a bigger channel. This process leads to more erosion within the channel and that, in turn leads to slides in the unstable, glacial soils found on Cougar Mountain. We feel construction of the park and Ballfields in the headwaters has been a serious detriment to the survival of an historically important and unique species.
There is a bigger issue here, however. While the Kokanee is almost certainly doomed, it is a strange comment on our ecologically minded (most Washingtonians characterize themselves as environmentalists) society that we have allowed this to happen. Maybe allowed is not the right word. In many cases we have supported this extinction. Some residents have the attitude that they can fill in or divert a stream, build a dock or bulkhead, dump bugkiller, weedkiller, and carwash in the lake, and “don’t tell me what to do with my property.”
Most government agencies seem to regard the environment as a resource to be plundered not protected. Unfortunately, all of us are downstream or upstream from someone else. What I do on my property up on Cougar mountain does affect all you who live on the lake. I would not pour mercury or arsenic in my surface water runoff to kill a few bugs or rats or coyotes that I don’t like.
Parts of Russia, Africa, the Middle-East, and the United States are no longer livable because of the kind of behavior that is dooming the Kokanee.
If we actively destroy (or permit the destruction of ) indicator species in our environment, we are like miners going into a mine without their canary. Who knows when we have gone too far? This is not a hopeless situation. If all of us, but particularly those who live on the lake shore or adjacent to streams, make an effort to protect this habitat, the few Kokanee survivors may be able to stage a comeback. We would be the richer for it.

Bert the Salmon’s Tips For Saving Water
Here’s how to start saving the gallons:
|
Low-flow is the way to go Fix toilet leaks Don’t use the toilet as a trash can since each flush wastes water. Can We Talk Trash? http://dnr.metrokc.gov/wtd/community/trashcan/ |
|
Rub a dub dub, take a short shower—don’t linger in
the tub!
A bathtub holds up to 50 gallons of water. The typical shower uses
less than 20 gallons. For real savings, limit your shower to five minutes.
Sing shorter songs in the shower.
Turn it off
Turn off water while you brush your teeth or shave—and save up to 10
gallons of water a day.
Fill ‘er up
Wash only full loads of clothes and dishes. Don’t pre-rinse dishes
unless you need to. Most new dishwashers don’t require pre-rinsing. And if you
can afford one, water-efficient washing machines save water and energy and are
easier on your clothes. To find out if a rebate is available in your area,
call 206-684-7283 or check the Saving Water Partnership at:
http://www.savingwater.org/
Keep a bucket handy
Collect shower and sink water that is wasted while you wait for it to
warm up…and use it to flush the toilet and water houseplants or outdoor
planters.
Tips for saving water outside
Water wisely
Consider letting the lawn go brown and dormant in the summer. If you
do choose to water, do it in the morning and evening to avoid evaporation.
Water half an inch to an inch of water once a week. Using an empty tuna can is
a great way to measure when you’ve reached an inch.
Shut off the run-off
Use a hose with a shut off nozzle. Better yet, consider drip
irrigation.
Capture some of the rain with rain barrels
Put in rain barrels this winter and capture some of the rain for
watering this summer. More information is available at Rain Barrel Information
and Sources for the Pacific Northwest:

King County Executive Ron Sims
thanks Excerpt from the March 21, 2005 speech When state law required us to update our regulations to protect our well-water, wetlands, rivers and lakes, and to prevent flooding and stop erosion, we added flexibility and incentives for landowners to meet the regulations and get tax breaks. The Critical Area Ordinances are some of the same regulations that have been in the Bear Creek Basin for ten years where chinook and sockeye spawn. Land use regulations help reduce nutrient flow into Lake Sammamish where oxygen levels are low raising the risk for deadly algae blooms. But regulations alone cannot get the job done. It takes people who care. People like Terry Lavender who led the effort to save Bear Creek for sockeye and chinook salmon and for the people who live in the Basin. And Joanna Buehler who created Save Lake Sammamish and calls herself ‘the nagging voice’ for clean, clear water. Stand up Terry, and Joanna, so we can thank you for the thousands of hours you have devoted to our environmental health. |

Light Pollution - What it is and what you can do about it
Almost everyone knows about air and water pollution and most of us have heard about contaminated land. But how many people have heard of “Light Pollution”?
Any light that spills beyond the place where it is needed is “light pollution”. Light in your garden is light pollution. Light from streetlights that shines beyond the edge of the pavement is light pollution. The dull glow of the night sky over cities is light pollution.
Light Pollution is the combined effects of glare, light trespass and sky glow. In some cases light pollution can actually reduce the safety and security it is intended to provide, since light may be directed where it was not intended. Most light pollution is unnecessary. Modern designs of light can direct light only to the area where it is needed and so minimize light pollution.
| Light Trespass Poor lighting can shine onto neighboring properties and into windows. This reduces privacy, it can hinder sleep and it creates an unattractive neighborhood. Glare Sky Glow |
 |
Light pollution can disrupt the routines of living
things Birds, bats, fish, insects, amphibious and other animals find their night habits changed (reproduction, migrations, etc.) by the presence of powerful lights that distort the natural day-night cycle. Light from homes affects the migration of salmonids and promotes predation on salmon, while dark areas are prime habitat for salmon. Some researchers believe that light pollution around lakes prevents fish from eating surface algae, helping cause algal blooms that can kill off the lakes’ plants. Producing the energy wasted by excessive lighting impacts the environment Light is wasted when it does not shine where it is needed, thus unnecessarily inflating operating costs and environmental pollution from extra transmission lines and power plants. In the United States, studies have identified over a billion dollars worth of wasted energy each year because of the light that shines into the night sky. On the local level, a smaller community, with a lower tax base, can have significant savings if they adopt efficient lighting and insure that it is properly installed. |
Glaring shoreline lights cause safety problems for
boaters.
Boaters out at night are finding it increasingly difficult to navigate
the waterways because of the growing number of glaring lights on the shoreline
from highways, towns, bridges, marinas, docks or piers, private home security
or architectural lights. The glaring lights create background clutter and
effect vision which makes it difficult to see other boaters, hazards such as
floating logs, bridge pilings, or navigation aids such as illuminated buoys.
Groundings and boating accidents occur. There is a growing public demand for
safer boating through shoreline light pollution control. Glaring lights reduce
visibility and safety. Fully shielded outdoor shoreline lighting increases
boaters’ safety and enhances the pleasure of boating at night under star
studded skies.
Poor lighting reduces security by producing dark shadows that can mask danger. Replace glaring lights with fully shielded, lower wattage bulbs which shine the light down on the dock or pier, the marina, the parking lot, highway or street, but not out onto the waterways to produce vision debilitating glare.

Shielding reduces lighting’s impact
Glaring lights at anytime, whether on shore or on water, reduce visibility and
safety because the eye adjusts to the brightness of the light and is therefore
incapable of seeing in shadows or dark areas. In addition to visual problems
caused by direct glare, water surface reflections magnify light pollution
problems.
By shielding the distracting glare from the light source, the viewer can actually see the entire area better. The light can be contained within the property area, and kept out of adjacent properties - light trespass - and the light normally lost up into space - sky glow - is now redirected to the intended task area.
Full light shields can eliminate the glare safety hazards at low cost to the property owner; 0.99 cents for a spray paint can, and up to $100 for a fancy fully shielded light.
Motion sensing switches reduce lighting and improve
security
Automatic motion-sensing outdoor lights are one of the best security options
for any home. They are now available as decorative lanterns, post lights,
standard two-bulb floodlights and extra bright halogen lights.
If you already have an outdoor light, just attach an inexpensive add-on motion-sensing control to it. The light can still be operated as a normal light. Just flip the switch twice and the light stays on as normal.
Motion-sensing lights use only a fraction as much electricity as leaving lights on all night. Installing them can easily save more than $100 per year in electric bills and pay back their cost in several months.
In addition to saving electricity, outdoor motion-sensing lights make a would-be thief think he was seen.
Although many outdoor motion-sensing lights look similar, don’t just buy the least expensive one. There are significant differences in the level of sensitivity, range of coverage, and convenience and security features.
A new feature is a two-level light. The outdoor light can be set to stay on from one hour to all night at a dim (20 percent full brightness) energy saving accent level. When motion is detected, it switches to full brightness for several minutes. This provides security and accent lighting in one fixture. For extra security, some motion-sensing light switches have a transmitter which can also switch on an indoor lamp or alarm.
Summary
-
Lighting can disrupt plants and animals routines.
-
Producing the energy wasted by excessive lighting impacts the environment.
-
Glare from shoreline lighting can be hazardous to boaters at night.
-
Shielding reduces lighting’s impact.
-
Motion sensing switches reduce lighting and improve security.
************************************************************
One way to enhance a shoreline buffer zone is to resist tidying up leaves, twigs, rubble, and brush piles. Coarse woody debris and snags (standing dead trees) are other examples of important habitats often destroyed by the tidy-up impulse. The more we learn about ecosystems, the more we appreciate the key role dead wood plays in sustaining living things.
 |
A fallen tree may support more life than a living one, for decaying wood is a biological legacy — a link between past and future forests. It recycles critical nutrients back into the soil and serves as the foundation of a rich and complex food web: bacteria, fungi, and wood-boring insects like termites and carpenter ants consume the rotting wood; they, in turn, become food for squirrels, shrews, salamanders, and centipedes, which nourish such predators as weasels and owls. Dead wood also shelters a multitude of shoreline species: loose bark and cracks supply safe hiding places for skinks, voles, and chipmunks; juncos nest around exposed roots; deer mice cache food in cavities; grouse use downed trees as drumming sites; and hollow logs provide lodgings for bears and raccoons, breeding sites for martens and porcupines, and cover for deer and winter wrens. Snags are the monarchs of the dead wood realm, with such shoreline birds as eagles, ospreys, great horned owls, ravens, and hero ns nesting in their crowns, woodpeckers excavating their trunks, chickadees, flying squirrels, and wood ducks nesting in their cavities, and bats and wood frogs sheltering underneath their bark. Let trees in each stage of birth, growth, death, decay, and renewal fulfill their roles. About 2 or 3 snags should remain per acre in a buffer zone, along with coarse woody debris in a variety of species, sizes, and stages of decay scattered throughout. (Note that trees infected with Dutch elm disease can infect healthy elms and should not remain standing.) Boost the wildlife value of snag trees by planting vines like bittersweet, grape, or Virginia creeper at the snag’s base. |

Tips for streamsiders and for waterfront residents
|
Streamsiders A lot depends on you! Clearing, landscaping or careless use of the streambanks and land close to streams or shorelines can harm water quality, killing fish and ruining the beauty of your stream. Keep your streambanks naturally vegetated. Trees, bushes and grasses on the banks will: 1) shade the water, keeping it cool for fish, 2) prevent streambank erosion, and 3) provide habitat for wildlife and food for fish. For more information about streamside vegetation go to: http://dnr.metrokc.gov/wlr/PI/HealthyWaterTip.htm Talk to your children. Teach them to value and respect streams and stream life. Kids need to understand that they cause damage if they build dams, stir up bottom mud, trample streambanks, or harass fish. More information on the Natural Resources Kids Page: http://www.metrokc.gov/dnr/kidsweb/ Fence livestock away from streams and wetlands. Animal wastes degrade water quality and their hooves can cause streambanks to collapse, silting streams and disrupting fish habitat. Make sure animals have plenty of room to drop their wastes over grassy areas and away from streams. More information about livestock programs at: http://dnr.metrokc.gov/wlr/lands/livestoc.htm |
Tips for waterfront residents Are you wondering how to protect your property while preserving its beauty and ecological value? The Puget Sound Shoreline Stewardship Guidebook is available at: http://dnr.metrokc.gov/wlr/watersheds/puget/puget-sound-guidebook.htm) The Guidebook has answers to questions about: Geology and erosion that can affect your property; taking advantage of natural shoreline protection; managing rain runoff; using native plants; controlling aggressive non-native plants; and maintaining septic systems. Salmon Conservation and Recovery |
|
|
Curb pet waste. For smaller pets, make sure to scoop their waste and dispose of it properly. Keep litter out of the stream. This includes grass clippings and other yard waste as well as trash and inorganic waste. This sort of pollution not only looks and smells awful, but reduces the oxygen content of the water and kills fish and their eggs. Maintain your septic tank. Have it professionally checked every two or three years and serviced as needed. |

|
Contact the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) before you make any changes to the stream. Although well intentioned, any changes you make could destroy spawning beds and fish eggs (even way downstream) or block fish migration. State law requires approval from WDFW for any changes to a stream. |

iSSAQUAH se Bypass Surprise
By Barbara Shelton
Please Send A Thank You To The Four Who Had The Courage To Voice Their Support For Our Aquifer, Our Watershed, Our School Children, Our Forested Hillside & Wildlife Habitat
The Issaquah City Council made a courageous decision June 20, 2005. Hank Thomas made a motion to direct the Administration to stop all work on the SE Bypass and prepare a Council Resolution declaring that the project is environmentally too damaging and too expensive for the City to complete and, therefore, the project will be terminated. The motion carried, 4 to 3, with Joe Forkner & Nancy Davidson joining Hank & Dave Kappler in support. The Resolution will be voted on at Council meeting in July.
Audience comments went till just before 9 P.M. with many comments against the Bypass and a few in support. Regular business took another 90 minutes and then Hank made his motion. The discussion before the vote was revealing.
Please send a thank you to the four who had the courage to voice their support for our aquifer, our watershed, our school children, our forested hillside and wildlife habitat. They will be subject to attack for their convictions and must have the knowledge that the majority of citizens respect and support this difficult decision.
