DESCRIPTION
This project needs to be updated
The proposed Goodfellow/Chotzen Floodplain Reconnection Project utilizes natural processes to restore floodplain functions in an approximately 5-acre area located along the left bank (north side) of the Wenatchee River at RM 1.4. The project will remove a low earthen berm from the floodplain, allowing water from an existing side channel to access a larger portion of its historic floodplain during high flows. Additionally, a ~375 foot-long backwater channel will be excavated into the floodplain to serve as a reconnection point for water flowing across the newly opened floodplain area. All disturbed areas will be revegetated with native riparian species.
