DESCRIPTION
The objective of this project is to remove a rock weir and concrete structure that were placed in the mainstem Okanogan River in the 1940's or 1950's. This section of the Okanogan River is a popular float with kayakers and canoeists, due to the lack of development in the floodplain. Removal of these structures will enhance the aesthetic value of this reach and increase boater safety. Additionally removal of these objects will restore natural flow regime, sediment transport/storage, and floodplain connectivity of Wilson Side Channel, which is part of a floodplain complex recently purchased by WDFW directly below the site of the project.
