Description
This opportunity, offered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), funds a comprehensive analysis of stream conditions, sediment transport, and water supply at Intake #2 of Battle Creek, supporting the Coleman National Fish Hatchery (CNFH) in California. The project aims to provide the baseline data and modeling necessary for the future design of a screened, fish-safe water diversion system. This work is critical for maintaining CNFH’s capacity to produce salmonids, support sport fisheries, and contribute to the recovery of endangered winter-run Chinook Salmon by ensuring a reliable and ecologically sound water supply.
The project is part of a broader, multi-agency effort to upgrade water infrastructure and restore salmonid populations in the Sacramento River basin. The funded work will directly inform infrastructure improvements and help CNFH meet both production and conservation goals.
