This work has been propelled by the Watershed Council in earnest for the last 4 years in partnership with the Army Corps and the City of Monroe, Oregon and recently hit a critical milestone! Based on the early work by LTWC and the City of Monroe the Portland District, US Army Corps of Engineers was awarded funding through their Continuing Authorities program to evaluate this structure, and review alternatives for fish passage! A hugely important step that moves this from an outreach and visioning phase, to a design phase! This project was one of only two in the country that received funding in the current federal budget, and is a priority for our USACE district.
