Corps seeks comments on Fall Creek fish facility

Published Nov. 12, 2014

PORTLAND, Ore. – The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is seeking public comments on its draft environmental assessment of the proposed Fall Creek Dam and Reservoir Adult Fish Facility Upgrade. 

The Corps is proposing to upgrade the existing Fall Creek Dam fish collection facility to enhance upriver passage of adult Upper Willamette River Chinook, steelhead and other native species. The preferred alternative provides volitional swim-up capacity, the ability to hold fish, and water-to-water transfer, all of which reduce stress and injury and improve fish survival. 

The draft EA is available on Portland District’s website at http://www.nwp.usace.army.mil/Media/Announcements.aspx.

Questions or comments regarding the draft EA should refer to public notice number CENWP-PM-E-14-13 and be directed to kristine.a.lightner@usace.army.mil or the address below by Dec. 12, 2014:
