The goal of this project was to identify actions that would address flood hazards, water quality problems and salmonid habitat limiting factors associated with the streams, upland and nearshore areas between the mouth of the Dungeness River and the mouth of Cassalery Creek in eastern Clallam County. Several agencies and groups are involved in this project.

Three environmental issues prompted the development of this comprehensive assessment and action plan :
1. Localized flooding near the mouths of Meadowbrook, Cooper and Cassalery Creeks.
2. Bacterial contamination in surface waters of the area.
3. The threatened status of four salmonids that have historically utilized the waterways of the study area, including   Puget Sound chinook, Hood Canal summer chum, bull trout and Puget Sound steelhead.

Recommended actions were developed, based primarily on examination of existing studies, reports and existing regulations, stakeholder objectives, GIS analysis, and achievability.  Identified resource concerns were broken down into three categories:
1. Water quality;
2. Flooding;
3. Fish and wildlife habitat.
To the greatest extent possible, actions were identified that simultaneously address flooding hazards, improve water quality and enhance fish and wildlife habitat.
