	Dungeness River Audubon Center - Who We Are
		The Dungeness River Audubon Center at Railroad Bridge Park is an active partnership of four organizations operating under an Memorandum of Understanding.
		The Dungeness River Audubon Center is governed by a River Center Board with equal representation from the four partner organizations and at-large members providing particular expertise.
		The river corridor and estuary are valuable habitat and staging areas for resident and migratory birds.

	Shared Strategy for Puget Sound
		The Elwha and Dungeness River are home to threatened summer/fall Elwha Chinook, threatened spring/summer Dungeness Chinook, threatened Hood Canal/Strait of Juan de Fuca summer chum, threatened bull trout, and populations of Coho, chum, pink, summer and winter steelhead, rainbow trout and sea-run and resident cutthroat.
		In the Dungeness Watershed, this drier climate is both a boon for sun-lovers and a bane for farmers in the Dungeness River Valley, who need to irrigate their fields and for salmon, which need sufficient flows in which to swim.
		Diminished river flows common in the Dungeness during late summer and early fall, hamper the migrations of returning adults and steal usable habitat from young salmon preparing for life in the ocean.

		During the latter half of the river's brief 32 miles, the Dungeness slows dramatically as its winds through the flat, arid northern edge of the Peninsula.
		So the Dungeness River Management Team, the watershed's lead entity under Washington's salmon recovery plan, is proposing the ambitious move of buying out the property owners at Rivers End, acquiring the land and returning it to its natural state by removing dikes and letting the river take its own course.
		Dikes constructed to convert the floodplain of the Dungeness to pasture and farmland extend all the way to Sequim, channelizing the river and speeding up its flow, which in turn increases the amount of sediment and pollutants carried to the mouth.

		While flooding is a natural function of the Dungeness River, the situation has been made worse over the years as dikes have been constructed along the lower portions of the river and some parts of the riverbed have been dredged.
		In an attempt to restore the lower reaches of the Dungeness River, Clallam County with guidance from the Dungeness River Management Team — of which the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe is a member — is in the process of purchasing from willing property owners land near the river’s mouth.
		Known as the River’s End Project, the goal is to purchase the land, restore the critical river-to-estuary habitat and move the dikes back, allowing the river to flow across the floodplain.

		The Dungeness River Watershed became one site for these new approaches to be put into action in 1990, when a group of state agencies, tribal representatives, agricultural interests, municipal governments, and others met to develop a process for addressing water rights disputes.
		Various groups have been active in the watershed, though currently most efforts are centered around the Dungeness River Management Team, which consists of federal and state agencies, county, municipal, and tribal governments, recreational, environmental and conservation interests, and private property owners.
		Over the past decade, the partnerships for the Dungeness River watershed have enabled the formation of a major agreement for irrigation and instream flow protection, developed collaborative, science-based plans for solving water resource problems, and installed numerous conservation improvements.

	Fish Conservation - Spawning Hope
		The Dungeness plunges 7,000 feet from its headwaters in the Olympic Mountains, 34 miles north to the Strait of Juan de Fuca.
		Rivers and streams that once nursed thousands of fish have seen their populations dwindle, despite dizzying sums of money spent on salmon recovery—$3 billion on the Columbia River alone, by some accounts.
		The groups formed the Dungeness River Management Team and negotiated a groundbreaking agreement: The agricultural water users would take no more than 50 percent of the water in the river at any time, though they are legally entitled to a figure five times what's actually there in a dry August and September.

	River Owners Balk At Selling Out Their Property
		Clallam County agencies called a meeting of River's End landowners to discuss the buyout of their properties with a federal/state salmon recovery fund board (SRFB) grant of $1.5 million.[1] River's End is near the mouth of the Dungeness River -- the end of a 10.8 mile section of the privately owned portion of the river.
		Yet at both ends of the river, the property owners have come up with similar solutions to the problem: fix and maintain the dikes which have historically protected their homes, and dredge the river bottom to remove the gravel built up by the fast-running river.
		In 1997, the so-called "local watershed council" (Dungeness River Management Team) consisting of various agencies, the county, tribe and a token landowner or two, prepared a report [3] which reveals some of the true intentions about the fate of the river and the people who reside beside it.

	History
		The Valley of the Dungeness lies at the northern end of the Olympic Peninsula, in the extreme northwest corner of the United States.
		It spreads in an alluvial fan from the Dungeness River gorge to the scalloped beaches of the Strait of Juan de Fuca.
		Heavy forests reached from the foothills to the shore, and the Dungeness River from its headwaters high among the snowcapped peaks of the Olympics, flowed unhampered to the strait.

	The Dungeness River
		The Dungeness River and its associated tributaries have historically supported populations of pink, chinook, coho, and chum salmon.
		The river and its tributaries are used throughout the year at different times and by different species for migration, rearing, and spawning.
		Coho salmon use the upper river to spawn and the entire river for rearing.

	DRMT hosts private meeting for Dungeness River plans
		Sequim, WA- 10/25/01 -“Geomorpholoy of the Lower Dungeness” was scheduled as the topic for a special meeting of the Dungeness River Management Team (DRMT), referred to by state agencies as the local "watershed council" on October 25 at the Tribal Community Center in Blyn.
		Reach 1 is the lower Dungeness River near the old Dungeness Schoolhouse and River's End.

	Willing Sellers sought along Dungeness - SierraTimes.com
		Dungeness River Management Team [DRMT] has taken upon itself) set up a work group to “recommend restoration projects for the Dungeness River.” Some of the statements made in their report reflect the underlying theme and desire to rid the river of private owners.
		Toward the bottom of the river, at River’s End, the county applied for and received a grant to buy out the owners there, with plans for removing the 3.4 mile Corps of Army Engineers’ dike, completed in 1964 for the purpose of protecting the village of Dungeness.
		One of the landowners at River’s End was cited in violation of the county’s critical areas ordinance, despite the fact that he proved that no harm was being done to the river, the fish or to anyone or anything.

		In-stream mini-piezometers were used to measure vertical hydraulic gradients between the river and the water-table aquifer at 27 points along the river and helped to define the distribution of gaining and losing stream reaches.
		Vertical hydraulic gradients in the mini-piezometers generally were negative between river miles 11.8 and 3.6, indicating loss of water from the river to ground water.
		Vertical hydraulic conductivity of riverbed sediments was estimated using hydraulic gradients measured with the mini-piezometers and estimated seepage fluxes.

		In 1953 the City was authorized to withdraw water from the infiltration gallery, and in 1954 a second surface-water diversion was authorized to convey water from the river to the infiltration gallery.
		The Port Williams wellfield was constructed in order to shift a portion of the City's pumping withdrawals away from the Silberhorn Wellfield and the Dungeness River Infiltration Gallery towards a deeper groundwater source that has less hydraulic connection with the Dungeness River.
		Reduced withdrawals from the Infiltration Gallery are beneficial in that they leave more flow in the Dungeness River to benefit fish habitat, and were agreed upon between the City and Ecology in 1997 (Ecology, 1997).
