On October 11, 1989, the Northwest Power Planning Council approved the Umatilla Hatchery Master Plan . The project is currently in the final design and construction phase. There continue to be requests from the public and fishery managers in the Columbia Basin for copies of the approved master plan for the Umatilla Hatchery. The appended materials were assembled to fill those requests.
The approved plan consists of three documents:
The plan submitted to the Council by the fishery managers, the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation and the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife. The issue paper prepared by the Council's staff to describe key elements of the master plan for the proposed hatchery and discuss some of the potential uncertainties and benefits associated with the project. The decision letter and attachments from the Council approving and allowing final design and construction to begin. The letter also describes a number of activities that should be completed concurrent with construction. The above documents reviewed together will give the reader a more complete understanding of the Umatilla Hatchery Master Plan.
Sincerely,
Dulcy Mahar, Director
