POMEROY––The WT Wooten Floodplain Management Plan did not receive any funding in the 2023-25 Biennium so no lake rehabilitation projects will be moving forward at this time, reports the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW).
In cooperation with the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation and the Nez Perce Tribe, WDFW is conducting an assessment of the Tucannon River and associated infrastructure from Camp Wooten ELC to just north of the WT Wooten Headquarters. The assessment will be used to drive the designs of the future projects involving the lakes, campgrounds, and powerline.
A kick-off meeting will be occurring this fall to gather public comment regarding the future of the Tucannon Lakes, according the WDFW.
