The Muddy River, formerly known as the Moapa River, is a short river located in the southern part of the state of Nevada, in the United States.

Specifically, the Battelle Team was responsible for the preparation of a Habitat Evaluation Procedure (HEP) Report designed to evaluate the relative habitat benefits for four ecological guilds (i.e., benthic invertebrates, fish, piscivorous wildlife, and wetland/riparian birds) resulting from the various combinations of dredging, aeration, or recirculation activities proposed with each of the restoration alternatives.
Previous investigations indicated that sediments from the Muddy River may pose unacceptable potential ecological risks to wildlife in the area.
The results of this investigation were used by NED in conjunction with related cost estimates to select the most appropriate alternative for the restoration of the Muddy River.
