General

Project Number:

1987-100-02

Agency, Institution or Organization:

Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife (ODFW)

Short Description:

The ongoing Umatilla Subbasin Fish Habitat Improvement Project (19871-100-02) is aimed at protecting (where possible) and enhancing/rehabilitating (where required), degraded fish habitat on private lands using passive and active restoration techniques.

Status:

Finalized

Province:

Columbia Plateau

Subbasin:

Umatilla

Information Transfer:

Project information will be included in annual project summary reports submitted to BPA, as well as in monthly status reports submitted to BPA through its on-line PISCES system. Through the Project's adaptive management strategy, information obtained during the O&M and M&E phases of individual projects will be used to refine future project implementation plans and designs, as well as modify operation and maintenance plans to maximize the potential for project success.
