DESCRIPTION

The City of Arlington is an active member of the Stillaguamish Watershed Council implementing many restoration projects, these are a few of the city's projects. The City of Arlington's new Stormwater Wetland is an innovative new tertiary treatment facility, designed to filter out chemicals and toxic substances before the water is returned to the Stillaguamish River. The Eagle Creek project directly addresses the degraded conditions by working with the private landowner to repair and restore the first 1000’ (12%) of the stream’s riparian corridor, and to provide for fish passage to the upper 9000’ of stream corridor through the removal of two collapsed culverts & enhancement of native riparian vegetation largely with native conifers and riparian shrubs.
