The project improves survival of native fish species through the implementation of fish screen, passage, and habitat projects (irrigation diversions, dams, culverts, habitat structures, etc.) on both public and private land. Along with funds from BPA, the program uses cost share from PCSRF, OWEB, Oregon General Fund, and ODFW Surcharge funds for implementation. The project is housed at the John Day Screen Shop in John Day, Oregon, but supports projects in most of Eastern Oregon. Prioritization of projects is primarily focused by the Mid-Columbia Steelhead Plan, but Oregon Sub-basin plans and other regional plans help determine best use of money on the ground, while maximizing partnership projects throughout the entire area.



The program will solicit a subcontractor to complete cultural resource surveys on ground disturbance projects (through the supplemental Cultural Expense Contract). Once the subcontractor has completed all surveys for the contract year, the report will be reviewed by ODFW and then submitted to BPA for final compliance review and approval. Work on ground disturbance projects will not begin until BPA has provided approval.
