  "projectDescription": "The Catherine Creek Facility at RM 42.5 is 1 of the 9 fish passage projects that the Umatilla Tribe (CTUIR) will address within their ceded territory using Restoration Center funding. Catherine Creek, in the Grand Ronde Watershed, in Eastern Oregon, provides up to 120 miles of vital spawning and rearing habitat for ESA-listed Snake River Chinook salmon and steelhead in the Columbia River Basin.The Grand Ronde Restoration Atlas, guided by the Bonneville Power Administration and the Grande Ronde Model Watershed, identified restoration actions in Catherine Creek as part of its prioritization strategy. As a result, improvements to this facility have been prioritized for design, permitting, and implementation support to improve conditions critical for CTUIR's Chinook supplementation and steelhead enumeration efforts.Objectives for upgrades also include restoring year-round fish passage for all life stages of native fish, improving sediment transport and reducing annual maintenance costs, improving the efficiency of water diversions and monitoring approaches, and improving side channel habitat conditions for juvenile salmonids. These improvements represent locally identified needs and priorities for enhancing both habitat conditions and agricultural efficiencies. Successful collaborations such as these are crucial for maintaining long-term hydrologic function and high-quality habitat conditions for ESA-listed species in this priority subbasin.",
