BPA Contract 62793. The actions funded under this contract are elements of a larger multi-agency effort to implement habitat improvement projects within the Upper Columbia River Tributary system designed to address the priorities established by the Upper Columbia Salmon Recovery Plan. The Bureau of Reclamation completed the Middle Methow (M2) Reach Assessment in August 2010. The assessment provided the basis for identification and prioritization of projects to benefit ESA-listed fish species. As part of this effort, Methow Salmon Recovery Foundation (MSRF) and its partners, including Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation), Yakama Nation (YN), WA Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW), and Trout Unlimited (TU), began to implement multiple salmon habitat enhancement projects in the M2 reach of the Methow River in 2012. In the first phase of the M2 project, MSRF contracted with BPA on two construction projects within the larger M2 Habitat project for implementation in 2012-2013: M2-Whitefish Island Habitat Improvement Project (WFI), and M2-WDFW Floodplain Habitat Improvement Project (WDFW).The current contract is for the second phase of the larger M2 project, and it includes implementation activities for the (M2) River Rock Reach (3R) Floodplain and Side Channel project. Implementation for the M2 3R project includes the following elements: construction of instream habitat complexity structures, connection of off-channel habitat, and restoration and enhancement of riparian areas.
