Saltese Flats Wetland Restoration: Restoring a Natural Landscape
Saltese Flats is an area located about 15 miles east of Spokane. Historically a natural shallow lake, about 1000 acres was drained for agricultural use around the turn of the 20th century. In 2003, Spokane County purchased approximately 600 acres of the former lake bed as a potential place to discharge reclaimed water from their new water reclamation facility. Moving forward, Saltese Flats will be a natural area meant for potential reclaimed water introduction, wildlife habitat and a place of recreation and enjoyment for all who visit. The presentation will be given by Nicki Feiten, a Water Resource Scientist with Spokane County Environmental Services. Nicki’s primary focus is managing the Saltese Flats wetland restoration project.
