Title:	Kootenai National Wildlife Refuge Floodplain Reconnection Project
Description:	BPA is proposing to fund the Kootenai Tribe of Idaho (KTOI) to restore floodplain connectivity to the Kootenai River historic floodplains within the Kootenai National Wildlife Refuge (KNWR) in Boundary County, Idaho near Bonners Ferry. The KNWR is managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). The USFWS and the KTOI are the project sponsors. The project’s reconnection activities would include breeching levees, raising KNWR and county roads, replacing water control structures, enhancing approximately 830 acres of wetland, and re-establishing approximately 5.9 miles of wetland channels. All of these actions would occur within an overall project area of about 2,330 acres. BPA is requesting comments on issues to be considered during the environmental review of the project.
