Walla Walla Hatchery Goals Reestablish natural spawning spring chinook Provide sustainable fisheries Develop localized broodstock Supported by previous plans 1990 NPPC Subbasin Plan 1996 Spirit-of Salmon Tribal Restoration Plan 2001 NPPC Subbasin Summary 2004 NPCC Subbasin Plan
Project Objective Assist in Walla Walla CHS restoration program by providing hatchery production Task 1 Finalize plans and designs NPCC 3-step review process Step 1 - Plan to incubate and rear 500K CHS in 2004 Step 2 - Scientific review and NEPA in 2005 Step 3 - Final designs and construction plans in 2005
Project Objective Assist in Walla Walla CHS restoration program by providing hatchery production Task 2 Construct hatchery facilities Add on at existing South Fork WW site Adult holding/spawning done Property, intake & effluent treatment done Possible construction in 2006
Walla Walla Subbasin CHS Artificial Production Strategies Release 500K smolts at S. Fork WW facility site Adult outplanting in Touchet River and Mill Cr. Opportunity for within-basin M&E comparison
Monitoring and Evaluation Surplus adult outplanting Spawning distribution and success Juvenile production and outmigration Adult passage success Master plan M&E component Within and between subbasin strategies Subbasin RM&E plan
Good Chance of Success Comprehensive program Great water quality and quantity Pristine headwaters Positive M&E results Cooperative Support Umatilla success model
South Fork WW Pristine Habitat
Anticipated Project Results Spawning Harvest Broodstock
