H alf a million dollars in fed eral funds already had been spent in planning these in tro ductions. M oreover, the $4.3 million project had been adopted in the N orthw est Pow er C oun cil’s fish and wildlife restoration program , which is funded by the Bonneville Pow er A dm ini stration. owever, tradeoffs of resident tro u t for anadrom ous fish were weighing on the conscience of • the O regon D epartm ent of Fish and W ildlife (O D F W ), so It invited the Com m ission to inter vene belatedly and decide whether; the project should continue. The ipvitation was essential: w ith out it,=the comm issioners lacked a voice in the m atter; w ith it, th e ir w o rd becam e final. The com m issioners were told that the W hite River arises from a glacier on the southeastern slope of M t. H ood. It flows 50 miles to th east, plunges 180 feet down three cataracts known col lectively as W hite R iver Falls, and then empties into the D es chutes at rivermile 43. Because o f the falls, neither the W hite * nor its tributaries support sal m on or steelhead runs. D etails of the project were then presented to Jim Newton, Whitcomb wins competition F orm er assistant golf pro at K ah-N ee-Ta, B rian W hitcom b, recently participated in a long- drive com petition in A lbuquer que, New M exico,.

He explained th a t anadrom ous fish returning from the ocean would be trapped at the base o f W hite R iver Falls and hauled aro u n d it by truck. The $4.3 m illion would also be used to screen 18 irrigation ditches Upriver, and to pay o peration and m aintenance costs through the life o f the project. The trap-and-haul facility was selected over the conventional fish ladder because it excluded tra s h fish (sh in e rs, su ck ers, squawfish) from a basin now containing only rainbows, brook tro u t, longnose dace, sculpins and largemOuth bass. The trap drew additional support because it simplified evaluation o f fish returns. 1 Juvenile salmon and steelhead would need no help getting down the falls, said N ewton. In exper- im ental releàses during the high w ater of spring runoff, 100 per cent of the steehead and 90 per cent of the spring chinook smolts survived the freefall. In low sum m er flows, when som e chi- nook would still be going dow n river, there was 70 percent sur- vivai. ;■ The project was designed to create a self-perpetuating popu lation of 3,500 Sum m er steel head and 2,100 S pring chinook.' There econom ic valhe, accord ing to studies cited by Newton, was $6 0 million; thus, the p ro ject offered a benefit-to-cost ratio o f 1.4 to 1. The m ajor draw back to thè project, said Newton, concerned the 280,000 resident rainbow s above the falls. T heir num bers m ight be reduced to 120i000 by com petition w ith the an ad ro m ous fish, and even fu rth er by introduced diseases now absent from the basin. The tro u t, which average fo u r inches in length, represent three distinct genetic populations that don’t interbreed with the 58,000 catchable rain bow s now stocked in th e basin. Newton concluded with a recom m endation by O D F W th at the W hite R iver Falls project be approved. • R epresentatives from the Mt. H ood N ational F orest and the C onfederated Tribes o f W arm .

The weakest part of the Pow er C ouncil’s plap to enhance C o lumbia Basin fisheries is its treat ment of resident tro u t, yet the W hite R iver project could sac rifice 80 percent of the resident p o p u la t io n f o r in tr o d u c e d anadrom ous fish, said Bakke.
