GENERAL INFORMATION
Project Title: Nelson Ph. 2B Pipeline
Total Cost: $15,800,000.00
Total Eligible Cost: $3,395,000.00
Ecology Share: $3,395,000.00
Recipient Share: $0.00
The Effective Date of this Agreement is: 02/01/2026
The Expiration Date of this Agreement is no later than: 12/31/2026
Project Type: Yakima Basin Integrated Planning
Project Short Description:
The RECIPIENT will complete Nelson Ph. 2B by installing new 42-inch irrigation pipeline in W. Powerhouse
Rd. from Ackley Rd. to S.Naches Rd.
Project Long Description:
Completion of the Nelson Dam Removal Project(Ph. 1)in 2022,included a new irrigation diversion structure
for the RECIPIENT(General Irrigation System and Fruitvale Canal),the Naches Cowiche Canal Association
and Old Union Canal. The fish passage and flood conveyance have been greatly improved in the Naches River
system. Phase 2 of the Nelson Dam Removal Project will install multiple pipelines connecting the new
diversion and screening facility to existing irrigation delivery systems. Phase 2 will be split into three separate
phases (A,B,& C). Phase 2A is fully funded by a previous ECOLOGY grant,WRYBIP-2325-YaWalr-00057
and installed approximately 2800'of 42-inch and 3200'of 32-inch HDPE pipe with appurtenances. Additional
materials were purchased for future phases with 2A funds.
The pipeline project was designed and permitted along with the Nelson Dam Removal Ph. 1 project including

NEPA and Cultural Resources. The RECIPIENT's new General pipeline and a portion of the new consolidated
(Fruitvale/Old Union)pipeline,which parallel the US 12 right-of-way and cross Cowiche Creek,were installed
as part of Nelson Ph. 2A project. The pipelines were installed via open trench under Cowiche Creek and set at a
depth that accommodates future Cowiche Creek restoration efforts planned by Yakima County.
The overall pipeline improvements include:
-Installation of a 42-inch HDPE"Consolidated"pipeline from the intake which will distribute water to the
Fruitvale and Old Union canal systems. The pipeline will extend from the intake for a distance of approximately
7,000 feet along the eastbound Highway 12 right-of-way and terminate near the existing Fruitvale Canal. At this
point,flow will be bifurcated using two valves and metered branches: one discharging into the existing Fruitvale
Canal and the other extending north easterly and discharging into the existing Old Union Canal.
-Installation of a 32-inch HDPE pipeline from the new intake to the RECIPIENT's"General"pipeline system
3,000 feet to just downstream of its existing sedimentation pond,eliminating that which lies adjacent to US 12.
Here,the new pipe will connect directly to the existing HDPE pipe at that location.
The RECIPIENT contributed over$400,000 in irrigation capital funding available in FY2024/25. In addition,
the RECIPIENT was awarded$7.6M as part of the state's 2023-25 biennial budget from a request made through
the Yakima Basin Integrated Plan and this funding has been utilized to complete Ph. 2A of the project.
This grant for an additional$3.395M in state funding allows the RECIPIENT to continue with completing a
large portion of the overall project with construction and completion of Phase 2B. Ph. 2B will take place in 2026
with the available $3.395M in funding.
Construction of Ph. 2B is anticipated for 2026. Yakima County can then move forward with the Cowiche
Confluence Complex Project to restore Cowiche Creek and surrounding floodplain areas along the confluence
with the Naches River,improving spawning habitat and fish passage in Cowiche Creek for coho salmon and
steelhead.
Construction of Ph. 2C is anticipated to take place in 2026 and 2027. Ph. 2C is currently unfunded. Yakima
County (a partner agency in the Nelson project) was selected for a USBOR WaterSMART AERP grant in 2025
for the Cowiche Confluence Complex Project,which is a floodplain restoration project,but also includes the
Nelson Ph. 2 pipeline. An additional$5M in funding has been identified in the grant for Nelson Ph. 2. An
agreement with Yakima County and the USBOR to spend the awarded grant funding is pending. Additional
RECIPIENT irrigation capital funding is expected to become available as part of the FY2026-27 biennial budget
approval, allowing for the continued construction of the new pipelines and completion of Nelson Ph.2. Ph. 2B
and 2C combined is estimated at$8M.
Nelson Ph. 2 total project cost is currently estimated at$15.8M (including construction management and project
administration).
Under this agreement the RECIPIENT will work with contractor(s)to install approximately 1,200 LF of 42-inch
HDPE"Consolidated"irrigation pipeline in W. Powerhouse Rd. from Ackley Rd. to S.Naches Rd.,which will
connect pipelines previously installed with the Nelson Ph. 2A pipeline project.
The 42-inch Pipeline and Material procurement was completed under the WRYBIP-2325-YaWaIr-00057.

Phase 2C construction,not associated with this agreement,will fully complete the Nelson Phase 2 project
allowing for the removal of two in-river diversion structures and water delivery to the RECIPIENTS Fruitvale,
General, and Old Union irrigation systems.
Overall Goal:
The goal of this Nelson Ph. 2B project will be to continue installation of the 42-inch consolidated irrigation
pipeline with the available funding.
The overall goal of the completed Nelson Ph. 2 pipeline project will allow for two existing irrigation diversions
(Fruitvale and Old Union)downstream of the Nelson diversion to be decommissioned and be diverted at a
single location at Nelson. Providing 4 diversions at the single Nelson location will improve operational
efficiencies and reduce maintenance, and eliminate nearly 1 mile of open channel canal. Decommissioning the
two existing diversions will allow for the removal of a fish barrier in Cowiche Creek,opening miles of river
habitat and spawning for coho and steelhead. It also allows Yakima County to complete their Cowiche
Confluence Complex Project,restoring the floodplain and habitat along Cowiche Creek. Cowiche Creek will
also be realigned back to its more natural pathway(north of Hwy 12).
