The U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Reclamation awarded a $3,077,237 Project Grant under the Aquatic Ecosystem Restoration Program (CFDA 15.580) to the Sonoma County Water Agency. The grant funds a planning and design effort to improve fish passage at the Eel River's Cape Horn Dam in California. The project aims to enhance the ecological health of the Eel River by facilitating better passage of federally listed Chinook and Coho salmon and winter steelhead beyond the dam. The funded activities include facilitating a technical advisory group to review and select the best project alternative, then developing the selected alternative to a 60% design level. This planning and design work will engage a wide array of stakeholders, including tribes, environmental interests, water suppliers, governments, agriculture, and utilities. The award date is June 25, 2024, with an ultimate completion date of December 31, 2026.
