| WOOD RIVER LAND TRUST- IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE CITY OF KETCHUM- IDAHO- WILL ENHANCE AND IMPROVE THE ECOLOGICAL FUNCTION OF THE 65-ACRE WARM SPRING PRESERVE ALONG THE WARMS SPRINGS CREEK IN BLAINE COUNTY- IN CENTRAL IDAHO. WARM SPRINGS CREEK IN THE PROJECT AREA HAS BEEN ARTIFICIALLY CONFINED- CONCENTRATING FLOW- AND CREATING INCISION AND FLOODPLAIN ABANDONMENT. THERE IS VIRTUALLY NO FLOODPLAIN CONNECTIVITY WITHIN THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE PROJECT REACH. THE PROJECT WILL RESTORE 1.3 MILES OF WARM SPRINGS CREEK THROUGH INSTREAM EARTHWORK TO CREATE POOLS- POINT BARS- AND CONSTRUCTED RIFFLES- AND INSTALLATION OF WOODY DEBRIS STRUCTURES TO PROMOTE IN-CHANNEL COMPLEXITY. THE PROJECT WILL ALSO CREATE NINE ACRES OF ADJACENT FLOODPLAIN HABITAT BY LOWERING THE FLOODPLAIN. THE FLOODPLAIN RESTORATION WILL BE COMPLEMENTED BY REVEGETATION WITH LOW-WATER NATIVE PLANT SPECIES ALONG THE RIPARIAN ZONES AND THROUGHOUT THE PRESERVE- WHICH WILL COLLECTIVELY AID IN IMPROVEMENT OF WATER QUALITY AND TEMPERATURE OF WARM SPRINGS CREEK. THE PROJECT IS SUPPORTED BY THE WARM SPRING MASTER PLAN AND IDAHO FISH AND GAME- THE NATURE CONSERVANCY- AND SEVERAL LOCAL STAKEHOLDERS. | Idaho (Bureau of Reclamation federal awards) | WOOD RIVER LAND TRUST COMPANY | $1.7M | — |
| AWARD PURPOSE: THIS PROJECT INCLUDES PLANNING AND PRE-CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES TO SUPPORT FUTURE DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION FOR THE RWP. A KEY RWP OUTCOME IS CONSTRUCTION OF A RECYCLED WATER FACILITY (RWF) AND GROUNDWATER RECHARGE FACILITY (GWRF) TO ENABLE LOCAL INDUSTRIAL WASTEWATER REUSE AND GROUNDWATER RECHARGE. THE CITY INTENDS TO RENEW USED INDUSTRIAL WATER AND RETURN IT TO LOCAL INDUSTRIES. TO DO THIS, THE CITY MUST HAVE ENOUGH WATER TO MEET DEMAND AND THE RESILIENCY TO WITHSTAND WATER SCARCITY CHALLENGES. THE PROJECT IS VITAL BECAUSE IT PROVIDES THE INFORMATION REQUIRED TO MAKE PROGRAMMATIC DECISIONS THAT WILL MAKE THE RWP A REALITY.ACTIVITIES TO BE PERFORMED: TO IMPLEMENT THE RWP, THE CITY WILL ENGAGE IN PLANNING AND FEASIBILITY STUDIES AND ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE ACTIVITIES TO INFORM SITE SELECTION AND DEVELOPMENT OF A RWF, GWRF, AND RELATED RECYCLED WATER CONVEYANCE INFRASTRUCTURE.EXPECTED DELIVERABLES OR OUTCOMES: THE CITYS INVESTMENT IN RECYCLED WATER WILL SUPPORT SUSTAINABLE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND EXTEND AND SECURE WATER SUPPLIES WHILE IMPROVING THE RESILIENCE OF THE GREATER LOWER BOISE RIVER WATERSHED.INTENDED BENEFICIARIES: THE CITY OF BOISES RWP WILL PRESERVE LOCAL WATER BY PROTECTING THE BOISE RIVER, BOLSTERING THE LOCAL GROUNDWATER SUPPLY, AND CREATING RESILIENCY AGAINST CLIMATE CHANGE IMPACTS.SUBRECIPIENT ACTIVITIES (IF KNOWN OR SPECIFIED AT TIME OF AWARD): N A | Idaho (Bureau of Reclamation federal awards) | BOISE, CITY OF | $1.0M | — |
| THE CITY OF POCATELLO, LOCATED IN SOUTHWEST IDAHO, WILL DESIGN THE PORTNEUF RIVER OXBOW RESTORATION PROJECT. MUCH OF THESE VALLEY BOTTOM LANDS WERE DISCONNECTED FROM THE PORTNEUF RIVER BY LINEAR INFRASTRUCTURE, ESPECIALLY RAILROAD TRACKS, FLOOD CONTROL CHANNEL, AND LEVEES. THESE STRUCTURES ELIMINATED THE RIVERS ADJACENT WETLANDS, REDUCING WATER QUALITY, GROUNDWATER RECHARGE, AQUATIC AND RIPARIAN HABITAT, AND OVERALL BIODIVERSITY IN THE VALLEY. THE PROJECT DESIGN WILL INCLUDE DIVERSIONS UNDER THE RAILROAD TRACKS, ADJACENT LAND GRADING AND PLANTING WITH NATIVE SPECIES TO REACTIVATE OVER 100 ACRES OF FLOODPLAIN. THIS RESTORATION DESIGN PROJECT IS EXPECTED TO HELP THE CITY IMPROVE SEDIMENT LOADS IN THE RIVER, IMPROVE WATER QUALITY, AND REDUCE FLOOD RISKS. PARTICIPATING PARTNERS INCLUDE THE SHOSHONE-BANNOCK TRIBES, IDAHO DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY, IDAHO DEPARTMENT OF FISH GAME, AND US FISH WILDLIFE SERVICE. THIS PROJECT WILL ADDRESS THE GOALS OF THE 2016 PORTNEUF RIVER VISION STUDY WHICH PRIORITIZES THIS PROJECT AS A MEANS TO IMPROVE WATER QUALITY, BOOST BIODIVERSITY, AND RESTORE ECOLOGICAL FUNCTIONS OF THE RIVER. | Idaho (Bureau of Reclamation federal awards) | CITY OF POCATELLO | $392K | — |
| THE PRIEST RIVER WATERSHED GROUP, IN PARTNERSHIP WITH TROUT UNLIMITED, WILL SUPPORT THE NATIVE COLD-WATER FISHERY AND WATER QUALITY OF THE LOWER PRIEST RIVER WATERSHED IN NORTHERN IDAHO THROUGH EDUCATION, OUTREACH, AND BY COMPLETING A WATERSHED RESTORATION PLAN. THE GROUP WILL COMPLETE OUTREACH AND A WATERSHED RESTORATION PLAN FOR THE EAST RIVER FOCUSED ON PRESERVATION OF CRITICAL HABITAT FOR THE ENDANGERED BULL TROUT. CLIMATE CHANGE DRIVEN DROUGHT CONDITIONS AND REDUCED RIVER FLOWS HAVE LED TO AN OVERALL DECREASE IN THE BULL TROUT POPULATION WITHIN THE BASIN. CURRENTLY, GROUP MEMBERSHIP CONSISTS OF LANDOWNERS, FEDERAL AND STATE AGENCIES, THE KALISPEL TRIBE OF INDIANS, LOCAL GOVERNMENT, BUSINESS AND INDUSTRY INTERESTS, OUTFITTERS, ENVIRONMENTAL GROUPS, AND OTHER REPRESENTATIVES FROM THE PRIEST RIVER AND PRIEST LAKE COMMUNITIES, ALL OF WHOM ARE COMMITTED TO COLLABORATIVELY FINDING SOLUTIONS TO SUPPORT THE WATERSHED. THE GROUP WILL BUILD ON COALITION BUILDING THEY COMPLETED UNDER A PREVIOUS WATERSMART COOPERATIVE WATERSHED MANAGEMENT PROGRAM PHASE I GRANT. | Idaho (Bureau of Reclamation federal awards) | TROUT UNLIMITED, INC. | $300K | — |
| AWARD PURPOSE: CLIMATE CHANGE WILL REDUCE WINTER SNOWPACK IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST (PNW), SHIFTING RUNOFF EARLIER IN THE YEAR AND LEADING TO REDUCED SUMMER LOW FLOWS, WITH DETRIMENT TO RIVER ECOSYSTEMS AND SUMMER WATER SUPPLY. RIVER FLOODPLAIN RESTORATION PRACTICES, SUCH AS STAGE 0 RESTORATION, VALLEY RESTORATION, AND WET MEADOW RESTORATION, ARE IMPLEMENTED IN THE COLUMBIA RIVER BASIN (CRB) WITH THE PURPOSE OF RESTORING JUVENILE SALMONID HABITAT. SUCH PRACTICES CAN ALSO AFFECT SUMMER LOW FLOWS BY INCREASING SURFACE AND GROUNDWATER STORAGE BUT ALSO INCREASING RIPARIAN EVAPOTRANSPIRATION. THERE IS INTEREST FOR FLOODPLAIN HABITAT RESTORATION TO MITIGATE DECREASES IN SUMMER LOW FLOWS FROM CLIMATE CHANGE TO BENEFIT FISH MIGRATION AND JUVENILE REARING HABITAT, YET THE EFFECTS OF DESIGN PARAMETERS ON RESTORATION IMPACTS TO SUMMER LOW FLOWS REMAIN UNCLEAR (HUNT ET AL. 2018, NASH ET AL. 2018, HUNT ET AL. 2020, NASH ET AL. 2020). THUS, CURRENT KNOWLEDGE IS INSUFFICIENT TO DESIGN FLOODPLAIN RESTORATION PROJECTS TO MAXIMIZE MITIGATION OF CLIMATE CHANGE IMPACTS TO SUMMER LOW FLOWS. ADDRESSING THESE KNOWLEDGE GAPS WILL ALLOW INFORMED DECISION-MAKING REGARDING FLOODPLAIN RESTORATION BENEFITS THAT ACCRUE FROM HABITAT RESTORATION. CRITICAL NEEDS INCLUDE UNDERSTANDING HOW TO 1) DESIGN INDIVIDUAL RESTORATION PROJECTS TO MAXIMIZE BENEFITS TO SUMMER LOW FLOWS AT A LOCAL SCALE, AND 2) PLAN LOCATIONS OF RESTORATION PROJECTS THAT MAXIMIZE POTENTIAL FLOW BENEFITS AT LARGER RIVER NETWORK SCALES. UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO PROPOSE TO ADDRESS #1 IN THE CURRENT CASE STUDY (PHASE 1), WHICH SETS THE STAGE TO ADDRESS #2 IN A FUTURE STUDY (PHASE 2).ACTIVITIES TO BE PERFORMED: THIS CASE STUDY (PHASE 1) WILL FOCUS ON DETERMINING PROJECT DESIGN FOR USE BY PROJECT ENGINEERS AND PROJECT DESIGN TEAMS TO MAXIMIZE SUMMER FLOW BENEFITS AS MITIGATION AGAINST FUTURE CLIMATE CHANGE IMPACTS. THIS STUDY WILL SPECIFICALLY DETERMINE THE POTENTIAL FOR INDIVIDUAL FLOODPLAIN RESTORATION PROJECTS TO MITIGATE FOR CLIMATE-INDUCED REDUCTIONS IN LOW FLOWS AT THE LOCAL PROJECT SCALE, AS WELL AS THE SPECIFIC FLOODPLAIN RESTORATION DESIGN ELEMENTS NEEDED TO ACHIEVE THOSE GOALS.EXPECTED DELIVERABLES OR OUTCOMES: SIMULATION RESULTS WILL BE USED TO DETERMINE VALUES OF RESTORATION PROJECT DESIGN PARAMETERS THAT ARE NECESSARY TO MITIGATE CLIMATE-REDUCED SUMMER LOW FLOWS AT PARTICULAR SITES. A SERIES OF SUCH PLOTS FOR DIFFERENT DESIGN PARAMETERS AND SITE CHARACTERISTICS WILL BE COMPILED INTO A SET OF DESIGN CURVES AND CORRESPONDING DESIGN EQUATIONS. THESE DESIGN CURVES AND EQUATIONS CAN THEN BE USED TO DETERMINE SITE DESIGN PARAMETERS NECESSARY TO MITIGATE FOR HYDROLOGIC IMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE EARLY IN THE DESIGN PROCESS.INTENDED BENEFICIARIES: ADDRESSING THESE KNOWLEDGE GAPS WILL ALLOW INFORMED DECISION-MAKING REGARDING FLOODPLAIN RESTORATION BENEFITS THAT ACCRUE FROM HABITAT RESTORATION. | Idaho (Bureau of Reclamation federal awards) | REGENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO | $226K | — |

| THE CITY OF POCATELLO, IDAHO, WILL IMPLEMENT A RIVER RESTORATION PROJECT ON THE PORTNEUF RIVER IN DOWNTOWN POCATELLO. THE HEALTH OF THE PORTNEUF RIVER HAS BEEN SEVERELY COMPROMISED BY FLOOD PROTECTION LEVEES AND THE CONSTRUCTION OF A CONCRETE CHANNEL, WHICH REMOVED HUNDREDS OF ACRES OF WETLANDS WHEN INSTALLED. RESTORATION WILL BE ACCOMPLISHED BY MOVING THE RIVERS EXISTING RIP-RAPPED LEVEE, CONSTRUCTED IN 1968 BY THE US ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS, TO AN AREA OF CITY-OWNED PROPERTY. A WETLAND AND SIDE CHANNEL WILL BE INSTALLED ADJACENT TO THE LEVEE, ALONG WITH ADA-ACCESSIBLE RIVER ACCESS FOR ANGLERS AND FLOATERS. ADDITIONALLY, A STORMWATER POND WILL BE INSTALLED TO CAPTURE THE FIRST FLUSH OF SEDIMENT-LADEN WATERS FROM CITY STREETS. THIS PROJECT BUILDS ON THE CONCEPTS DEVELOPED IN THE 2016 PORTNEUF RIVER VISION STUDY AND ADDRESSES A WIDE RANGE OF ENVIRONMENTAL GOALS, INCLUDING IMPROVING HYDROLOGIC FUNCTIONS BY INCREASING FLOODPLAIN, WETLAND, AND RIPARIAN HABITAT AREAS, AND IMPROVING WATER QUALITY. THIS PROJECT IS ONE OF THE CRITICAL INITIAL PHASES OF A MULTIPHASE PROJECT TO RESTORE THE CENTENNIAL AND RAINEY PARK AREAS ALONG THE PORTNEUF RIVER. | Idaho (Bureau of Reclamation federal awards) | CITY OF POCATELLO | $1.6M | — |
| AWARD PURPOSE: IMPROVE ANADROMOUS FISH HABITAT FOR FEDERALLY LISTED STEELHEAD TROUT IN THE TOM BEALL CREEK WATERSHED, A TRIBUTARY TO LAPWAI CREEK, LOCATED IN NORTHERN IDAHO. THE PROJECT WILL IMPROVE WATERSHED HEALTH WITHIN THE BOUNDARIES OF THE RECLAMATIONS LEWISTON ORCHARD PROJECT.ACTIVITIES TO BE PERFORMED: REMOVE AN EXISTING BOX CULVERT, WHICH PROHIBITS UPSTREAM FISH MIGRATION, AND REPLACE THE CULVERT WITH A FISH PASSABLE STRUCTURE. MAJOR COMPONENTS OF THE PROJECT INCLUDE: PREPARING SITE THROUGH DRONE IMAGERY AND BASELINE HABITAT QUALITY DATA COLLECTIONREPLACING AN EXISTING BOX CULVERT WITH BOTTOMLESS ARCH CULVERTINSTALLATION OF TWO ROCK WEIRS TO CONTROL GRADE WITHIN THE CHANNELINSTALLATION OF TEMPORARY BRIDGE FOR USE DURING CONSTRUCTIONINSTALLATION OF PERMANENT BRIDGEEXPECTED DELIVERABLES OR OUTCOMES: SUPPORT THE MIGRATION OF THE STEELHEAD TROUT AND ADDITIONAL SPECIES INCLUDING COHO AND CHINOOK SALMONPROVIDE ACCESS TO APPROXIMATELY TWO MILES OF HABITAT AND REDUCE AREA FLOOD RISK IMPROVE WATER QUALITY TO DOWNSTREAM RECREATIONAL AND AGRICULTURAL WATER USERSINTENDED BENEFICIARIES: ANYONE DEALING WITH WATERSHED IMPROVEMENT, FISH HABITAT, AND FISHERY CONSERVATION MANAGEMENT.SUBRECIPIENT ACTIVITIES (IF KNOWN OR SPECIFIED AT TIME OF AWARD): N A | Idaho (Bureau of Reclamation federal awards) | NEZ PERCE SOIL AND WATER CONSERVATION DISTRICT | $367K | — |

| TROUT UNLIMITED WILL ESTABLISH THE PRIEST RIVER WATERSHED GROUP TO SUPPORT AND ENHANCE THE NATIVE COLD-WATER FISHERY IN THE LOWER PRIEST WATERSHED IN THE NORTHWEST PANHANDLE OF IDAHO. THE PRIEST RIVER IS DESIGNATED AS CRITICAL HABITAT FOR BULL TROUT, A THREATENED SPECIES UNDER THE ENDANGERED SPECIES ACT, AND A SPECIAL RESOURCE WATER, MEANING IT REQUIRES INTENSIVE PROTECTION TO PRESERVE OUTSTANDING CHARACTERISTICS OR TO MAINTAIN CURRENT BENEFICIAL USES. THROUGH THE PROJECT, A BROAD-BASE OF FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL, TRIBAL, AND NON-GOVERNMENTAL STAKEHOLDERS WILL WORK COLLABORATIVELY TO EXCHANGE INFORMATION, IDENTIFY ISSUES, AND ANALYZE DATA. THE GROUP WILL PRIORITIZE MAJOR WATERSHED CONCERNS, INCLUDING WATER TEMPERATURE, WATER QUALITY, LAND-USE IMPACTS, AND INCREASING RECREATIONAL USE, IN ORDER TO IDENTIFY AND PRIORITIZE POTENTIAL RESTORATION PROJECTS. | Idaho (Bureau of Reclamation federal awards) | TROUT UNLIMITED, INC. | $156K | — |
