Innovated Upstream Adult Fish Passage

The Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) is conducting market research for an innovated upstream adult fish passage system for Cle Elum Dam.



The principal components of work would include:



The Bureau of Reclamation would like to study and evaluate Sockeye migration with a volitional innovative passage transport system over Cle Elum Dam. Reclamation is seeking alternative methods to transport fish upstream.
