This project builds on efforts underway in the Yakima River Basin by integrating high-priority flood protection, salmon recovery, and agricultural land protection activities identified in the 2015 Yakima River Jeffries Levee to Canyon River Corridor Plan covering a four-mile reach near the City of Ellensburg in Kittitas County. Project activities include preventing residential development on 90 subdivided floodplain acres; removing seven structures from the floodplain; protecting 480 acres of agricultural lands from erosion; acquiring 400 acres of floodplain along with associated senior water rights and numerous wetlands; and restoring floodplain connectivity and important side-channel habitat.
