	Shared Strategy for Puget Sound
		The White and Carbon Rivers are glacially-born on the flanks of Mount Rainer, the largest and best-known of 13 major volcanoes that span the Cascade Mountains of Oregon and Washington.
		The Puyallup River empties into Commencement Bay at the Port of Tacoma, the third largest port in the western U.S. The Puyallup/White River basin is geologically the youngest watershed in Puget Sound having been shaped by a series of mudflows running down Mount Rainier’s flanks starting about 5,600 years ago.
		The historic Commencement Bay estuary was characterized by extensive tidal flood plains of a meandering Puyallup River along extensive off-channel sloughs, marshes and wetlands, as well as a delta with numerous braided distributary channels and broad, expansive mudflat habitat.

		The behavior of the Round Pass mudflow in the Puyallup River system was substantially different from that of the sharply peaked distributary of the flow to the south.
		Where the unit is as much as 16 m thick near the confluence of the Mowich and Puyallup Rivers, large exposed megaclasts and the presence of many mounds farther upstream establish a slope-failure origin (as a debris avalanche) that is consistent with the generally cohesive downstream texture.
		At the latter locality the deposits between megaclasts have the character of a lahar, are generally cohesive in texture, and represent an upstream part of the flow distributed on the flank of the volcano as shown by Crandell (1971, fig.

		Introduction and Background - Since the development of the Puyallup River preventative TMDL in 1994 new information has become available that raises questions regarding the assimilative capacity of the river for additional 5-day biochemical oxygen demand and ammonia loads.
		The TMDL study indicated that additional capacity was available, but monitoring data indicate that concentrations of dissolved oxygen in the lower Puyallup River fell below 5 mg/L on several occasions during September 2000.
		Locally, the data are very important to the Puyallup Tribe of Indians, Washington State Department of Ecology, and other parties who desire to resolve questions about waste load allocation limits in the lower Puyallup River.

		In 1906, a debris jam blocked the channel of the White River and diverted all the floodwaters away from King County down the Stuck River and into the Puyallup River.
		The water remaining in the White River after the diversion, flows through the Muckleshoot Indian Reservation, and the cities of Auburn and Pacific before joining with the Puyallup River in Sumner.
		The White River and it's tributaries serve as spawning, rearing and transportation areas for chinook, pink, chum, and coho salmon, as well as rainbow, steelhead and cutthroat trout.

		In 1907 the White River was permanently diverted into the Puyallup River, causing the loss of over 50 percent of the river flow.
		The levee is designed to direct river currents away from an adjacent road and farmland and not as a flood control levee.

	WDFW - Microsatellite DNA Analysis and Run Timing of Chinook Salmon in the White River (Puyallup River Basin)
		In contrast, a collection of unmarked and untagged adults sampled at the Buckley trap on the White River in 1998 and a collection of naturally produced smolts collected in the lower White River in 2000 were each somewhat intermediate in their genetic characteristics (allelic composition and allele frequencies) to the spring-run and fall-run hatchery populations.
		The temporal patterns of estimated catches in the years examined suggested that both spring-timed and fall-timed chinook runs were present in the lower White and/or Puyallup Rivers in 1954, 1955, 1957, 1966, and 1977.
		Given that there is little evidence that the fall-timed chinook run observed in the upper White River in the last 20 or so years is native to this system, we are concerned about the potential for interbreeding and/or competition between the presumed native White River spring-run stock and these fall-timed fish.

		By sub-basin, 64 of the structures inventoried were in the independent sub-basins (Hylebos, Wapato, Lakota), and 471 were in the Puyallup basin.
		Percentages of barriers tended to be less in the lower watershed where streams are generally lower gradient (lower Puyallup, lower White, Wapato Creek), and higher in the upper watersheds with higher gradient streams (Huckleberry Creek, Greenwater, West Fork White, Upper White).
		Barriers in the Puyallup culvert database were incorporated into the Salmon and Steelhead Habitat Inventory and Assessment Project (SSHIAP) database, allowing SSHIAP to calculate the amount of habitat blocked by barriers for the entire watershed (presumed anadromous presence up to a natural barrier or a stream gradient greater than 12%).
