Completion Report: Wolf Creek Diversion Dam FCRPS Habitat Improvement Program Wolf Creek, Methow Subbasin, WA
Throughout the Columbia River Basin, irrigation diversions and other uses of water have negatively affected salmonids and other fish species by reducing water flows, limiting upstream access to watersheds and spawning areas, and hindering downstream migration. This also describes the situation in the Methow River subbasin. The Wolf Creek Diversion Dam was identified as a low-flow barrier to fish movement. This project was initiated with the goal of providing passage for fish at all species and life stages, meeting diversion flow requirements for the irrigators, and reducing the visual impact of the structure in river. The Bureau of Reclamation was requested to work with Wolf Creek Reclamation District (WCRD or the District) to design and install a new facility. This report explains the design process and regulatory requirements leading to the new diversion and documents the construction that took place. To better illustrate what was accomplished, we have included two attachments: Attachment A shows a series of photographs documenting the work; Attachment B contains a location map and as-built drawings of the project.
