BPA Contract 85690. MSRF is in the preliminary design phase of a multi-year effort to identify and implement floodplain and complexity actions within a 4+ mile segment of the Methow River between Twisp and Winthrop that is largely constrained by past flood control efforts. This collaborative effort with Reclamation and members of the Tributary Committees seeks to identify specific actions within project area where flood features limit or preclude flood plain connection, side channel engagement, and limit normal channel processes. to identify conceptual project actions that would directly benefit floodplain connectivity, enhance limited in-stream habitat complexity and/or reconnect and enhance side-channels and wetland areas. BPA support will allow MSRF to expedite identification and implementation of priority actions to increase habitat capacity and enhance floodplain connectivity on nearly 90 acres of currently isolated or partially isolated floodplain, wetland and side channel habitat areas where protections have previously been secured through a combination of HCP Tributary Committees, PRCC, state, and federal funds.
