OpportunityTitle: Nason Creek Upper White Pine Construction
AdditionalInformationOnEligibility: This Funding Announcement is not a request for applications.  This announcement is to provide public notice of the Bureau of Reclamation&#8217;s intention to fund the following project activities without full and open competition.
Description: With this financial assistance, CCNRD will provide oversight to the Upper White Pine Floodplain Reconnection Project. The work includes removal of anthropogenic site impacts (levee and infrastructure) to restore floodplain connectivity, channel migration processes, and improve in-stream aquatic habitat in Nason Creek. These actions will increase the flood prone area by 10 - 27 acres (2 year to 100 year event, respectively). This project will also add large woody material to increase pool quality and quantity and will increase the availability of off-channel rearing. Increasing access to floodplain and off-channel habitat for endangered species listed juvenile steelhead and spring Chinook will improve rearing (feeding/foraging) and refugia from high water flows and predators. In order to accommodate restoration actions, six power poles will be removed and that section of transmission line will be re-located to White Pine road.
