The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is offering this cooperative agreement to Wahkiakum County to address extensive flooding affecting refuge pastures and riparian zones at the Julia Butler Hansen National Wildlife Refuge. This grant aims to protect refuge lands, as well as adjacent county and private properties, from high water levels caused by a deteriorated tidegate structure. The project will involve reducing tidal inflow through the defective tidegate and repairing a damaged concrete box culvert under Brooks Slough Road. This work is essential to prevent pasture flooding, enhance habitat conditions for Columbian White-tailed Deer, improve fish passage opportunities into the refuge interior, and significantly reduce flood potential for the surrounding areas.
