A team of fisheries biologists work together to remove fish from the project area prior to the start of instream work.
Over thirty individuals from government and non-government organizations volunteered to work on the 3-day fish removal
effort, capturing and removing nearly 3,000 native steelhead from the project site. Here volunteers are utilizing electrofishing
equipment to capture fish for transport either upstream or down depending on their age (21 MB).
This clip provides a quick panoramic overview of the downstream face of the dam as the reservoir was being dewatered
and the fish rescue continued. Also visible is a deep pool immediately downstream of the dam, one of the interesting things
revealed as the project progresses (21 MB).
A panoramic overview of the reservoir after dewatering and prior to bulk excavation (16 MB).
The local wildlife seems to be taking the temporary disturbance around them in
stride as evidenced
by this deer and fawns drinking immediately adjacent to the diversion dam and pumps (64 MB).
