Pioneer is designing a flood mitigation system to help keep Bannack State Park safe from flooding. In July 2013, a 500-year flash flood sent a surge of floodwater through Bannack, carrying rocks, tree limbs, and mud through the middle of the historic town. Pioneer is designing a detention pond to prevent future flooding. Read about it here http://www.kbzk.com/clip/13008431/plans-underway-to-protect-bannack-from-floods.
