DESCRIPTION
This project by the Yakima Tributary Access and Habitat Program (YTAHP) and North Yakima Conservation District (NYCD) designed, fabricated and installed a fish screen on one of the remaining unscreened gravity diversions on Cowiche Creek, a right bank tributary to the Naches River in WRIA 38. The diversion at the Cowychee Ditch is at river mile 12.1. Screening of this gravity diversion decreases fish entrainment in this high priority stream for restoration. The unscreened diversions was treated with a screen fabricated by the Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife (WDFW) at the Yakima Construction Shop, and was appropriate in size for the location, i.e. modular rotary plate screen. A head gate upgrad and trash rackwas engineered and installed in addition to the screen. The Cowychee Ditch diversion on Cowiche Creek was screened to prevent fish entrainment at the 4.47 cfs diversion, which at summer low flows is a significant portion of the total flow available for instream uses and irrigation.
