DESCRIPTION
It has been established by Federal, State, and local agencies that screening irrigation diversions with NMFS approved fish screens is key to ESA listed fish recovery. Since inception in 2001, the Washington Dept. of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) Cooperative Compliance Review Program (CCRP), partnering with the Walla Walla County Conservation District (WWCCD), has had great success in reducing juvenile anadromous fish mortality by installing nearly 400 state and federally approved fish screens on irrigation pumps and diversions in Walla Walla county. The CCRP/WWCCD fish screen program reflects voluntary efforts by landowners to come into compliance with surface diversion regulations. We believe 50 to 75 irrigators basin-wide still need to come into screening compliance. Non-compliant diversions are contributing to immediate fish mortality. This SRFB grant application requests funding to continue implementing the highly successful CCRP/WWCCD fish screen installation program by facilitating installation of 20 fish screen projects, all located in Walla Walla county, over the next two years (2017 -2018). The screens will be located at sites that are currently non-compliant with state and federal laws. Each project will be fitted with a NMFS compliant screen found most suitable for that location, and sized to a verified water right or, if smaller, a permanent irrigation practice. Previous CCRP/WWCCD screen projects funded by SRFB range in size from 15 to 4500 gpm (
