CX-035361: Sweetwater Creek Ford Removal and Bridge Install

Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) proposes to fund the Nez Perce Tribe (NPT) to replace an agricultural ford on Sweetwater Creek with a new bridge to improve fish passage and instream habitat conditions. The ford is used to move agricultural equipment across Sweetwater Creek and gravel is regularly added to build up the ford for equipment use, resulting in consistent damage to that section of the creek, compacted sediments, and deterioration of passage by aquatic organisms.
