Partnership Results in Restoration of Fish Passage -
The Bureau of Reclamation joined the Kittitas Conservation Trust and several other partners for a special event celebrating a partnership that resulted in the removal of the Bruton Diversion Dam and the successful restoration of fish passage in Taneum Creek located about 12 miles north of Ellensburg, Wash. The project reconnected migrating Coho salmon and steelhead to their historic habitat. Reclamation played a central role in the effort by securing water rights from the Kittitas Reclamation District and constructing a piping system that will provide irrigators with a reliable water source without diverting water from Taneum Creek.
