Commencing in late 2013, in the distance, is a hurst crew and equipment working to install initial erosion control measures to protect the waterways and their species from any runoff and turbidity that may occur due to construction activities that will take place.

Located along the Columbia River and confluence with the Entiat River, this project involved the rehabilitation of about 40 acres of waterfront property for the Public Utility District No. 1 of Chelan County as a part of complying with its agreement with the town of Entiat, and the necessity to flood its old townsite, over 50 years ago, for the construction of the Rocky Reach Dam.  The hydroelectric power dam is located several miles south, downstream, on the Columbia River.
