The Walla Walla County Conservation District used this grant to help interested landowners install 33 new fish screens in the Walla Walla River basin over a five year period (2009 -2013). The screens are located at sites that were previously non-compliant with state and federal laws. Each project was fitted with the most appropriate screen for the location, either passive or active cleaning, and was sized to the smaller of verified water right or current irrigation practice. 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. This project will benefit all fish species, including Chinook salmon, steelhead, and bull trout. Since its inception in 2001, the Wash. Dept. of Fish and Wildlife Cooperative Compliance Review Program (CCRP), partnering with the Walla Walla County Conservation District, has had great success in reducing juvenile fish mortality by placing over 350 state and federally approved fish screens on irrigation pumps and diversions in Walla Walla county. The CCRP fish screen program reflects voluntary efforts by landowners to come into compliance with applicable regulations regarding diversion from surface waters. We believe there remains an estimated 75 or so irrigators basin-wide that need to come into screening compliance.
