Agency Creek Road wi
Two culverts on Agency Creek that have been a
fish passage problem are scheduled to be replaced
late this summer. Starting the week of August 24
Agency Creek Road will be closed at mile post six
for approximately two weeks. Following this
project, another culvert at the start of the Upper West
Fork Road of Agency Creek ( 500 Road) will also
be replaced, and is also expected to take two weeks.
During stream surveys conducted in summer of
1996 the Tribes Fish and Wildlife Department de
termined that a series of culverts on Agency Creek
were major barriers to fish passage. These stream
surveys also showed that native cutthroat trout,
various sculpins, Pacific lamprey, rainbow and
steelhead trout, exist in these streams. The ability
of the resident fish to move freely throughout the
stream is very important to maintaining healthy fish
populations. It is critically important to anadro
mous fish like the Pacific lamprey and steelhead
Tribe and Casino sponsor
The Tribe and Spirit Mountain Casino have joined
forces with Painted Sky, a non-profit group, to
bring contemporary Native American bands to the
Portland Center for the Performing Arts. The con
cert, entitled "An Evening With Painted Sky" will
be held Friday, September 11 in Portland.
Ulali, a three-piece woman a Capella group, and
Burning Sky, a quartet featuring Native flutes and
drums, will headline the first ever Native American
show at the Performing Arts Center. The show is
presented by Painted Sky, whose mission is to es
tablish an annual Native music festival in Portland.
II close for two weeks
trout because they live most of their adult lives in
the ocean and must migrate to the cool headwaters
of our streams to reproduce. It has become one
the Fish and Wildlife Department's top priorities
to remove these barriers.
This year, the Fish and Wildlife Department ob
tained grants from the Governor's Watershed En
hancement Board and the USFWS through their
Job In The Woods program to replace two existing
oval culverts with two bottomless culverts. When
completed, this project will open up another 7.5
miles of fish bearing streams.
We apologize for the inconvenience, but we as
sure you that this will increase fish habitat and im
prove fish populations. Detour signs will be in
place to guide you around the road closure and the
Natural Resources Division office will have maps.
You may call them to get the latest road closure
report at 879-2382.
