The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation awarded a $1,500,000 Project Grant under the Yakima River Basin Water Enhancement (YRBWE) program (CFDA 15.531) to the Sunnyside Valley Irrigation District (SVID) to construct a 500-600 acre-foot reservoir along the Sunnyside Canal in Washington. The project involves developing an earth embankment reservoir with an automated pump station, controls, and infrastructure to improve water management and supplement instream flows for anadromous fish. Key project activities include evaluating potential reservoir sites, completing the reservoir design, purchasing land, and managing the permitting and construction of the new reservoir facility. This grant supports SVID's efforts to enhance irrigation efficiency, increase Yakima River instream flows, and provide sustainable water resources for agricultural and environmental needs in the Yakima River Basin.

Project abstract templateaward purposesdboc will hire an engineering firm in 2024 to evaluate the potential reservoir sites and then complete a design to construct a 500600ACREFOOT reservoir on about 6065 acres of land at the selected site. The funds awarded would also be used to purchase the selected property and then fund the permitting and project management of the reservoiractivities to be performedthe project is to build approximately a 500ACRE foot reservoir along the sunnyside canal east of grandview WA. The reservoir will be constructed with an earth embankment PVC liner and a pump station. The pump station will be capable of pumping a minimum of 50CFS out of the reservoir and back into the canal. The reservoir will have a gravity fill system. All controls will be automated and have radio communications back to the office. A ramp flume will be built in the canal next to the reservoir to accurately measure flows downstream of the reservoir. This project will have a large amount of earthwork concrete structures steel hdpe pipe PVC lining block control building and electrical work. Variable frequency drives vfds will control pump speeds and magmeters will be installed on all pumps to measure output. The vfds magmeter displays harmonic filters and electrical panels will all be installed inside the airconditioned control building.expected deliverables or outcomesthe benefits from the rereg #4 will provide additional efficiencies for the irrigation system that is currently in place. IT has been determined that the current rereg# 3 at the end of the system is no longer functional highlighting the need for this new rereg #4. The current rereg#3 will instead be used for the storing and retiming of water for fish flows as appropriate.intended beneficiariesirrigation demands instream flow needs for anadromous fish and water for future development of yakama nation YN lands compete for the water supplies of the yakima river basin. Current water supply needs for irrigation are over allocated and the need for water conservation is paramount for the sustainability of the yakima river basin wildlife and agriculture.subrecipient activities if known or specified at time of awardna
