Supplement Analysis for the Watershed Management Program EIS (DOE/EIS-0265/SA-79) - Eisminger/ CREP Dike Relocation
- Bonneville Power Administration (BPA), Portland, OR (United States)
BPA proposes to partially fund a project with the Union County Soil and Water Conservation District that will relocate 4,500 feet of existing dike along the Grande Ronde River, re-create native wetlands, relocate an existing powerline, and establish a riparian forest buffer. These actions are part of a Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP) project. The project is cooperatively funded by the Natural Resource Conservation Service, Farm Service Agency, Oregon Department of Forestry, BPA, and the landowner. BPA funds will be used to move an existing powerline. The goal of the proposed project is to: protect valuable cropland from flooding; improve floodplain function by allowing the river better access to the floodplain during periods of high water; improve riparian and floodplain sediment filtering capacity; improve riparian quality and function; and restore wetlands.
