Nampa & Meridian Irrigation District Ridenbaugh Canal Headworks Modernization Project

The Nampa Meridian Irrigation District (NMID) has been preliminary selected for a U.S. Department of the Interior’s Water Sustain and Manage America’s Resources for Tomorrow (Water SMART) grant to modernize their headworks facility in the Boise River for the Ridenbaugh Canal, which is nearing the end of its intended useful life and which presents increasing maintenance needs and operational safety hazards in its present condition.

Details of the proposed modernization project can be found in the Scoping Information Document (linked below).

The analysis of this proposal and any alternatives will be documented in an Environmental Assessment, with an expected completion in the summer of 2025. After the completion of environmental compliance requirements, the WaterSMART grant can be administered.

Public comments regarding the proposed modernization project should be submitted no later than October 31, 2024. Comments may be emailed to: sra-nepa-comments@usbr.gov, or submitted via US mail at the contact information provided below.
