The narrow canyon of the Portneuf River through the Bannock Range between Inkom and Portneuf Narrows is the geographic key to the development of southeast Idaho and the city of Pocatello.
This tear fault passes north of the Portneuf River at Portneuf Narrows and separates rocks of the Late Proterozoic Pocatello Formation to the north and underlying Chink's Peak, that are structurally overturned, from correlative strata on the south side of the fault that are right-side-up.
The Portneuf River is thus the remnant of the ancestral Bear River.

 Welcome to the Portneuf River Ecosystem Project
Water flowing into the Portneuf carries with it evidence of the soils, plants, and animals that live near the river.
The river also is impacted by ecosystem processes such as fire, by geological processes that shaped the land within the subbasin, and by human activities such as agriculture, industry, and urbanization.
In these web pages we discuss some of the factors that shaped the Portneuf River Ecosystem in the past, some of the human history of this region, the ecology of this ecosystem, and some of the ways that we are affecting the Portneuf River today.

The highest surface water and sediment contamination is located in the wastewater ponds found at the two facilities (see Tables 1 and 2).
Analytical results of samples taken in the Portneuf River have demonstrated that the FMC discharge has not resulted in any significant contamination of the river (i.e., no contamination was found at levels of health concern) (see Tables 3 and 4).
Because of the location of the ponds and the operational procedures used (e.g., site restrictions), it is doubtful that the general public would come in contact with the contaminated surface water and sediment contained in the ponds.

The Indian trail from the Walla Walla river across the Blue mountain range to the Grande Ronde valley can be quite certainly identified and across southern Idaho from the mouth of Burnt river to the Portneuf many names are yet recognizable.
It is there that the Ogden river comes out of a beautiful canyon of the same name -- a canyon that was almost impassible until the river was put to commercial use and a fine boulevard constructed through it, connecting the city with the Ogden valley, eight or nine miles away.
The trail used by Indians and trappers in passing to and from this valley crossed a divide and followed a smaller and less precipitous canyon opening at North Ogden, a few miles from the city of Ogden, and the early settlers understood Ogden's Hole to mean this smaller canyon and divide.

The Snake River from Jackson Lake, Wyoming to Brownlee Dam, on the Idaho-Oregon border, is nearly 700 miles long.

With so many streams and rivers that deliver water to the Snake River, the scale or size of a basin has to be considered in allocating resources for studies or management programs.
