The objective of this project is to eliminate mortality of listed species in the mainstem Methow and Barkley Diversion side-channel caused by annual excavation of the river bed to create a push up dam for irrigators on the Barkley ditch. The project will improve survival of ESA listed juvenile spring Chinook, steelhead, and bull trout, and also Pacific lamprey and west slope cutthroat trout by eliminating stranding that occurs annually the upper 1/2 mile of the Barkley ditch upstream of the fish screen. Trout Unlimited (TU) and partners the Barkley Irrigation Company (Barkley/BIC), the Methow Conservancy (MC) and the Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) will accomplish this by building a permanent pressurized system approximately 2 miles downstream of the current diversion to serve all Barkley users. The perpetual water saving from this project is 26 cfs. The project will eliminate the need for a push-up dam, while not a barrier to fish passage, destroys instream habitat and degrades water quality.
