Council Council Meeting
The council discussed the repair of the Nonpareil Dam intake structure and the associated fish ladder, which was damaged in a previous flood event. Key topics included the potential triggering of fish passage rules by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife due to the extent of the repair, the availability of up to 75% funding from FEMA for the project, and the intention to issue an RFP to find a firm for the design and cost estimation of the repairs. The council also explored potential funding partnerships and the legal importance of bringing the fish ladder up to current standards.
