  "projectDescription": "This project will restore fish access to 5.1 miles of Cougar Creek in Whatcom County by modifying or replacing culverts, floodgates and levees.  Project activities will improve instream and riparian habitat conditions, reduce post-flood fish stranding, reduce flood risk, and support improvements in water quality and farm field operability. The current funding supports the project design, permitting, and outreach about the project.",
