Title:	Birch Creek Floodplain Restoration Project
Description:	BPA invites your comments on the proposal to provide funding for the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation to restore a section of Birch Creek and associated floodplains near the town of Reith, in Umatilla County, Oregon, to enhance fish and wildlife habitat. The project would occur between river miles 2.25 and 3.2. Proposed restoration activities would occur within about a 70-acre area and would include about one mile of main-channel realignment and restoration; improving secondary channel and floodplain interactions; installing habitat-forming in-stream structures made from large pieces of wood; wetland enhancement and creation; and riparian and upland vegetation plantings. Please refer to the project url for more information. NOTE: This project is not related to the Columbia River System Operating Environmental Impact Statement (CRSO EIS). To comment on that project, please see the CRSO webpage here: https://www.nwd.usace.army.mil/CRSO/.
