The Fulton Canal is located on the lower Chewuch River near Winthrop WA. This screen was oriented 90 degrees to the canal flow, which inhibited fish from rapidly accessing the bypass system to return to the river & did not meet current criteria. The woven wire mesh screen cloth, nominal 1/8 + inch openings, was too large to prevent emergent steelhead, bull trout, & small chinook salmon fry from entrainment (did not meet the current 3/32 inch opening criteria). The worst feature of this site was the bypass system that returns fish back to the river. The entrance downwell was undersized & the return to the river ran fish over a bedrock ledge at high velocity. YSS proposed to replace this facility based on authority RCW 75.20.061 prior to the start of the 2000 irrigation season. This project was initially funded during the "1999 Early Action" cycle as PRISM project 99-1328 and was budgeted based on a new site 300 ft downstream from the existing site. The landowner denied access to the new site but agreed to a new facility at the existing site which required $50k of special features, leading to PRISM project 00-1165.
