Erosion on the Boise River puts private property at risk
KTVB, 4-3-23
MIDDLETON, Idaho — Boise River Flood Control District #10 just completed a $350,000 flood management project on the Boise River near Middleton to improve river flow, restore riverbanks and reduce damage to an adjacent private landowner's property.
The goal of the flood management project was to enhance river flow and prevent bank erosion that would have had a direct impact on the individual's private property.
Project Approval & Execution
The project required many permits and approvals from the Idaho Department of Water Resources, Army Corps of Engineers, Idaho Department of Environmental Quality, and the Idaho Department of Fish and Game.
Lurre Construction in Caldwell over sought the project. A royalty of $1.15 per cubic yard of river rock will be paid to the Idaho Department of Lands.

Don't miss the section on western spruce budworm, and check out our display in the post image. It is a major defoliator of
Douglas-fir and true firs in Idaho, and outbreaks can be
short-lived or chronic. Almost 80,000 acres of western
spruce budworm activity occurred in the Caribou-Targhee
National Forest southeastern Idaho in 2022. Overall,
activity is down compared to 2019 when approximately
300,000 acres of damage were mapped.
