Environmental Assessment Completed

Spring Chinook Release Site Improvements (also known as "Adult Salmonid Release Sites Improvements")

Willamette National Forest Lane; Linn; Marion, Oregon Willamette National Forest All Units

The proposed action would improve sites to make it easier for fish transport trucks to approach the water's edge and to have fish friendly pipes in place on site to carefully release threatened spring Chinook salmon and winter steelhead.

Location

Ten fish release sites. The watersheds are: Breitenbush, N & S Santiam, South Fork McKenzie, Fall Cr., and North Fork Middle Fork Willamette River.
