Wallace River Hatchery - Replace Intakes and Ponds
30000660
Noncompliance with federal and state regulations and standards for fish screening, passage and water quality requires the department to invest in new water supply intakes. Given the poor condition of the existing asphalt rearing ponds, water supply lines and the recent fish losses associated with their failures, funding to replace these hatchery components is provided. The project also includes remodeling and updating hatchery building and public restrooms.

This project will construct a new permanent weir on the Sol Duc River to replace the one that failed in 2021 due to high flows. The project qualified for public assistance through the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). FEMA will cover 90% of the cost with the remaining 10% to be covered by the department. The project has a consultant assisting with the hydraulic analysis and design of the permanent structure. Construction of the permanent weir/diversion and boat chute will create a forebay in the Sol Duc River, allowing adequate water to be pumped to the hatcheries’ rearing and adult ponds.
