Umatilla Tribe
Whiskey Creek Passage Improvement Project

A modern "salmon-friendly" culvert was installed on Mission Creek, providing umimpeded access to approximately 3.4 miles of potential steelhead habitat.		 The old irrigation dam was removed and the channel stabilized by a series of boulder step pools. Large wood additions also were completed and are functionally creating instream cover for fish and stabilizing eroding banks. Initial revegetation efforts were successful and plants will be monitored to ensure survival. The dam removal opened up 10 miles of potential rearing and spawning habitat upstream.

List of Umatilla projects funded for the past three years.
