Cooperative Agreement R25AC00293

The U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Reclamation awarded a $4,100,000 Cooperative Agreement under the Aquatic Ecosystem Restoration Program (CFDA 15.580) to the State of Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) to construct fish passage improvements to the Keno Dam on the Klamath River in Oregon. The project aims to address deficiencies in the existing 1968-constructed fish ladder that prevent effective passage for multiple fish species, including endangered salmon and suckers. ODFW will work collaboratively with the Bureau of Reclamation and other stakeholders to conduct biological investigations, evaluate passage needs, and implement upgrades to the Keno Dam fish ladder to facilitate improved upstream and downstream fish migration by the project's completion date of December 31, 2029.
