This project will focus on the design and construction a new North Fork Skokomish Powerhouse, which will include an integral fish collection facility and fish handling and sorting device. The new powerhouse, which will produce about 23,500 megawatts hours of energy, increasing electrical generation capacity by 14 percent, requires design, engineering and construction. A fish transport system will be included as part of the design. Which will allow federally listed salmonids and trout that are swimming upstream to be trapped, sorted, and then released in the upper river.
