Westland-Ramos Fish Passage and Habitat Restoration Project BPA Project No September 23, 2004 Westland Irrigation District

Project Area

Project Objectives Improve upstream passage for ESA-listed steelhead trout and bull trout Increase sediment transport through reach which will improve channel stability (reduce erosion) Enhance BPA fish passage investments at Westland Dam Improve fish habitat and riparian habitat in Westland Ramos project reach. Retain and improve diversion capacity

Progress to-date Bedload and hydraulic studies have been completed. 30% design drawings are complete. Have had series of meetings with technical work group and stakeholders to refine project. Original concept of improvements to Feed Dam have changed significantly to ensure the project does not change existing operations and increase O&M costs. Drafted BE and HIP documents.

Fish Passage at Feed Dam Factors limiting fish passage Fishway Hydraulics Full crest spill at all flows False attraction

Feed Dam Fishway Hydraulic Drop at inlet to fishway is approx. 4 feet at low flows (160 cfs). Agency criteria is 1 foot.

Feed Dam Fishway

(The Feed Dam is) the only significant barrier to upstream migrants…under adequate flow conditions. Reconstruction in the form of a full channel fishway or dam removal are likely the best options for upstream migrants at this facility. [Contor et al., CTUIR 1997] Summer Steelhead Mean Passage Times Spring Chinook Mean Passage Times Westland Feed Stanfield

Bedload Transport Issues Current bedload transport regime impairs fish habitat through Poor channel form Poor channel stability Degraded riparian area

Findings of Bedload Study Flows approaching the bankfull stage are required to transport sediment in the study reach. Modifications to the Westland Dam will increase sediment transport capacity, particularly important for the range of flows within the bankfull, or channel- forming flows.

Findings of Bedload Study Dam notching will not influence the erosion and deposition characteristics of the river for flows exceeding about 10,000 cfs (6-yr event). Modifications to Westland Dam are not likely to adversely affect channel form downstream of the dam. Modifications to Westland Dam will have favorable effects in the reach between the dams by improving capacity to transport sediment within the range of channel-forming flows.

Instream Gravel Maintenance at Westland Dam

Project Proposal to Enhance Fish Passage at Feed Dam Submerge existing fishway using rock weirs downstream of dam

Project Schedule Plan and select preferred alternativeApril 1999 Engineering feasibilityJanuary 2000 Sub-basin stakeholder consensusDecember 2000 Final design and permittingNov October 2004 ImplementationJuly - September 2005 Develop and implement monitoring plan ongoing

Expected Results Enhance Fish Passage Eliminate barriers to passage at all flows Minimize migration delays Improve Bedload Transport Substantially reduce in-channel maintenance Initiate conditions for channel stability Facilitate riparian recovery Maintain irrigation diversion capacities
