Fish Passage Task Force to consider passage mitigation pilot project

Friday, April 24, 2015

SALEM, Ore. – Oregon’s Fish Passage Task Force will meet Tuesday, May 5 in Salem to consider the proposed Fish Passage Mitigation Banking Pilot Project.

The meeting will begin at 2 p.m. at ODFW Headquarters, 4034 Fairview Industrial Dr., Salem, Ore. 97302. After reviewing public comments on the pilot project and responding to questions from the public and Task Force members, ODFW staff will be asking the Task Force for a recommendation on project approval.

The Mitigation Banking Project is proposed as a three-year agreement between ODFW and the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT). ODFW and ODOT developed the fish passage mitigation pilot project as a way to address high priority passage projects and to make cost effective repairs to the state’s highway infrastructure.
