The Fender Mill Side Channel Restoration Project seeks to increase juvenile survival and rearing productivity in the Methow Subbasin by restoring the availability of high quality rearing habitat in the Fender Mill side channel. The project proposes use of a groundwater infiltration gallery to collect groundwater adjacent to the mainstem Methow River, and discharge the water as surface flow into a side channel located in the floodplain of the old Fender Mill site. The channel will be graded to include improved pool and riffle habitat and large wood structures along the approximate 2,200-foot-long side channel. The groundwater infiltration gallery is designed to collect approximately 7 cubic feet per second (cfs) during the seasonal low river stage, with a maximum rate of 20 cfs during peak runnoff.
