Gravel Pits

• Discussions are on-going with Yakima County to begin a multi-agency effort to study the feasibility of connecting the floodplain mines to the main flow of the river

  • Levee set-back
  • Partial fill of pits with old levee material
  • Force partial river flow into and out of gravel pit(s)
  • Partial sediment load in river to fill remaining volume over time
  • This effort will create a multi-channel system
    • In some reaches of the Yakima River, this is a natural configuration
