Bureau of Reclamation

Description

Reclamation has entered into two Cooperative Agreements (Agreements) with GSWCD for the purpose of completing projects that will lead to stream habitat improvements within the Upper John Day and Middle Fork John Day Subbasins (Subbasins), located in Grant county, Oregon, which will benefit Anadromous fisheries. Benefits include improved access to spawning and rearing habitat; reduced entrainment; increased streamflow; improved fish passage; and improved habitat quantity and quality for native endangered fish species including spring Chinook salmon, steelhead trout, and bull trout. Reclamation received a request from GSWCD to revise the budgets and the Scope of Work of these Agreements. According to the District, the Board approved adjustments to the salary ranges of the District staff, effective January 1, 2016. GSWCD is also removing projects that are not viable, and consolidating other projects to be more efficient and financially manageable.
