This U.S. Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service Region 1 grant award under the National Fish Passage Program (CFDA #15.685) will fund two key fish habitat restoration projects in Oregon. The $4,324,657.25 grant, awarded on October 1, 2024, will support the Union Soil and Water Conservation District in improving fish passage and habitat connectivity in the Grande Ronde River sub-basin.

The first project will construct a fishway around the Elmer Dam on Catherine Creek to restore passage for native fish species like spring Chinook salmon, steelhead, and Pacific lamprey. Additionally, the district will replace irrigation infrastructure at the Royes Dam on Willow Creek, eliminating a fish passage barrier and improving flow conditions for ESA-listed salmonids. These efforts will reconnect over 40 miles of critical spawning and rearing habitat, increase water use efficiency, and enhance the overall hydrologic regime in these priority watersheds.
