		The Skokomish Indian Reservation, encompassing a total of almost 5,000 acres, is located on the delta of the Skokomish River where it empties into what is called the Great Bend of the Hood Canal on the Olympic Peninsula of Washington State.
		Located in a rural area of northern Mason County on the Olympic Peninsula, the Skokomish Indian Reservation is surrounded on the south by the Skokomish River and on the east by the Hood Canal.
		The Skokomish Indian Reservation, due to its location and geological features in primarily a rural area of the Olympic Peninsula, is significantly vulnerable and has been drastically impacted by the damaging effects of major natural and man-made hazards.

		Recent research at the University of Washington has found that a series of land-use decisions dating from the 1930s, from road building and streamside logging to dam construction, led to sedimentation that has made the Skokomish perhaps the most flood-prone river in the state.
		That probably occurred in part because capacity was maintained by human interventions, including gravel mining in the river from 1932 to 1934 for the construction of U.S. 101 nearby, and work to clear logging debris from the channel in the early 1940s.
		However, erosion from areas adjacent to the Skokomish headwaters in the Olympic Mountains began to deposit sediment in the riverbed, Montgomery said.
