Published purpose

The proposed project has two main components to improve long-term water supply and watershed resilience: Replacement of a weir upriver and various flood controls and attenuation projects in mid river. Together, these components will provide both water storage opportunities during the summer and flood relief during the winter, to mitigate the risk of further impacts from climate change and increase the resiliency of critical public infrastructure, as well as homes and livelihoods, particularly in already affected zones.
