10. 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

11. 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

12. Walla Walla Subbasin CHS Artificial Production Strategies
Release 500K smolts at S. Fork WW facility site
Adult outplanting in Touchet River and Mill Cr.
