This grant is for the purpose of restoring critical fish passage for threatened and endangered salmon and steelhead populations in the Upper Columbia Region’s Methow Subbasin. Building upon a long-standing Cooperative Agreement initiated in 2009, MSRF will act as Project Sponsor, collaborating with Reclamation to rebuild the Forth Thurlow, Thurlow Transfer, and Marracci weirs.
