Basis for Project: Wilson-Naneum-Cher Assessment <br />PROJECT DESCRIPTION <br />This potential project proposes to reroute Whiskey Creek into Reecer Creek within the City of Ellensburg's <br />Reecer Creek floodplain and levee system by constructing a fish -passable bridge along the BNSF railroad with <br />adequate capacity to also convey flood flows at the 100-year flood event. This project will reduce flooding in <br />the West Ellensburg neighborhood and adjacent industrial areas, decreasing inundation along the fringes of the <br />floodplain near the BNSF railroad and provide fish passage into Whiskey Creek. <br />FLOOD IMPACTS <br />Reduced flooding in the West Ellensburg neighborhood and adjacent industrial areas. <br />SCHEDULE <br />• 2027-2028: Final Design & Permitting <br />• 2029: Construction <br />FUNDING <br />• Federal: Federal Highways (Grant Request) <br />• Local: FCZD Levy <br />�9b <br />•ram <br />'+ <br />� <br />{�� ^ t <br />n1. <br />f <br />V � it Il 4 <br />Legend <br />OModel Boundary <br />-1 Levee Failure <br />Vanr <br />Aft 2 Features <br />r <br />Rerouted Channel, <br />Culverts Maintained <br />Proposed Levee Design <br />Mill Ditch Grading <br />Flood Swale <br />0 i300 1,600 <br />® Feet <br />For more project information contact Arden Thomas @ 509-962-7523 or arden.thomas@co.kittitas.wa.us <br />
