Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) proposes to fund the Kootenai Tribe of Idaho (Kootenai Tribe) to conduct habitat restoration activities for the Nimz Ranch Connector Channels Project. The project would improve the ecological productivity of the floodplain, improve the hydrologic connection between river and floodplain by increasing the frequency and duration of surface water connection, increase the area of seasonally inundated off-channel aquatic habitat, increase plant community diversity, and decrease the area of monotypic reed canarygrass (Phalaris arundinacea) (RCG) communities.
