May 24,2007 Spilyay Tymoo, Warm Springs, Oregon Fish Page 9 Natives heading to NABI (Continued from page 1) Julie Keil, director o f hydro licensing and water rights for P G E , described the release as “the biological side o f a very complex undertaking.” According to Keil, “This ef fort stands on a partnership, a very sturdy partnership, be tween P G E and the tribes.” As for the future fish passage facility, Keil" said, “It’s the most complex thing these , engineers will ever attempt in their careers. The release o f the steelhead was timed so that when they reach two years o f age and are prepared to migrate our o f the Deschutes River to the Pacific Ocean, the fish passage facility at the Pelton Round Butte Dam will already* be complete. The fish passage facility is included in the relicensing o f the dam, which is co-owned by the tribes and PG E. W hen the Pelton Round Butte dam was constructed in 1964, fish passage facilities were included.

A 130-foot-wide disc at the top o f the tovfer will draw in most o f die surface water, turn ing the current and fish back downstream toward the dam, according to information from the P G E website. Fish will be screened at the intake and trucked downstream o f the dams for release so they can make their way to the Pa cific Ocean. . A cco rd in g to M ichael Gauvin, fisheries management supervisor for the tribes, “It’s the first step'on a long path.” “It’s a long-term process,” Gauvin explained. “We have to start at some point.
