Sumner proposes to construct the White River Left Bank River Mile 2.5 ??? 4.2 Restoration Project to restore 169 acres of floodplain, riparian, and wetland habitat in the Lower White River, including 3.5 miles of in-stream habitat. Restoring a functional floodplain corridor includes lowering the floodplain to substantially increase the frequency and duration of overbank flows inundation and allow for the creation of new channels. The project includes an anastomosed reach with multiple channels transitioning to a single thread reach that promotes backwater into broad wetland areas with perennial tributary channels. Floodplain connectivity will expand the river's potential to dynamically form and sustain new aquatic habitat throughout the reach. Wetland areas will be installed at elevations to allow development of forested areas that will provide: shade to cool water temperatures, filtration to increase water quality, detrital matter to support prey resources and trees for future wood recruitment. Engineered log jams and complex woody revetments will support formation of in-stream habitat and production of prey resources and provide bank stability during large flood events. In-stream structures will support diverse and complex in-stream habitat overtime to support spawning, migration and rearing. Sumner Link Trail will be rerouted onto the forested berm so it is mostly outside of the floodplain.
