Summary
The Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) proposes to provide funding for river and floodplain habitat restoration actions in the mainstem and tributaries of the Lemhi River in eastern Idaho designed to benefit fish species such as Chinook salmon, steelhead, and bull trout. These actions include six mainstem and tributary river/stream restoration actions; four irrigation diversion modifications; one bridge construction; and planting, riparian-protection fencing, invasive weed treatments, and hydroseeding (a planting process using a slurry of seed and mulch) at various locations within the Lemhi River Valley. To understand the potential environmental impacts of this proposal, BPA prepared an environmental assessment (EA; DOE/EA-2133).
