Location. On Cottonwood Creek, Nez Perce County, Idaho. The project is located 1 mile upstream of the mouth of Cottonwood Creek at river mile 19 on the Clearwater River, near Myrtle, Idaho.

Existing project. A levee was built for flood protection by locals in prior years.

Local cooperation. Local entities have provided rights of way and other sponsorship requirements.

Operations during fiscal year. New work: Under Section 14 of Public Law 79-526, bank protection was provided. Heavy spring runoff had damaged the levees and caused extensive erosion. Quarry tailings overlaid by placed stone riprap were placed along 300 feet of eroding streambank adjacent to the Cottonwood Creek Community Church property.
