Welcome to our weekly edition of dams

00:02.151 --> 00:04.040
and all , which we use to provide

00:04.040 --> 00:06.680
updates about well , dams and other

00:06.680 --> 00:10.100
things . Only about 60 seconds speaking

00:10.100 --> 00:12.156
of dams , we just started looking at

00:12.156 --> 00:14.770
ways to modify an existing dam or drop

00:14.770 --> 00:16.870
structure at Monroe , which is about

00:16.870 --> 00:19.190
halfway between Eugene and corvallis .

00:19.260 --> 00:21.540
The drop structure really impedes fish

00:21.540 --> 00:24.930
passage . So the intent of the project

00:24.930 --> 00:27.740
is to restore fish passage in this area ,

00:27.750 --> 00:29.890
the city of Monroe and this lets try

00:29.900 --> 00:32.460
are sponsoring the project . We're at

00:32.460 --> 00:34.404
the beginning stages and asked for

00:34.404 --> 00:36.100
public input in november . We

00:36.100 --> 00:38.050
definitely discussed , you know ,

00:38.050 --> 00:40.217
there's an existing fish ladder , what

00:40.217 --> 00:42.439
can we do to upgrade that fish ladder ?

00:42.439 --> 00:44.900
Maybe we notch the drop the drop

00:44.900 --> 00:47.011
structure , just cut a little bit out

00:47.011 --> 00:49.233
of it . Maybe we remove it completely .

00:49.233 --> 00:51.840
Um there's also a side channel that we

00:51.840 --> 00:54.220
can reconnect back to the main channel

00:54.230 --> 00:56.690
um to work on that habitat piece .

00:56.700 --> 00:58.811
Thanks for watching you keep Portland

00:58.811 --> 01:00.130
weird . We'll keep it

01:00.130 --> 01:04.760
engineered .
