Reclamation is engaged in the implementation of habitat improvement projects across the Upper Columbia region, specifically in the Methow, Wenatchee, and Entiat sub-basins.  CCNRD has identified and is working on several projects: the Middle Entiat Project, Cottonwood Flats Project, Peshastin Irrigation District Pump-back Project, Nason-Kahler project, and Adaptive Management and Monitoring of existing projects CCNRD has implemented previously. Implementation of these projects will help Reclamation meet its obligations under the FCRPS BiOp.
