Salem, Ore. – Oregon’s Fish Passage Task Force will meet Tuesday, May 5th in Salem to consider the proposed Fish Passage Mitigation Banking Pilot Project.
After reviewing public comments on the pilot project and responding to questions from the public and Task Force members, ODFW staff will be asking the Task Force for a recommendation on project approval.
The Mitigation Banking Project is proposed as a three-year agreement between ODFW and the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT). ODFW and ODOT developed the fish passage mitigation pilot project as a way to address high priority passage projects and to make cost effective repairs to the state’s highway infrastructure.
The meeting will begin at 2 p.m. at ODFW Headquarters in Salem.
Information about the Fish Passage Mitigation Banking Pilot Project, and directions for submitting a comment, can be found on the ODFW website.
