Project Summary

A feasibility study conducted in 2003 identified a number of areas where gravel bars were isolated by scour created by water releases from Terzaghi Dam on the Lower Bridge River, this project will create rearing habitat for salmonid fry and smolts away from the mainstem of the river. Xwisten (Bridge River Band) have had this project on the back burner for the past 28 years,initially the plan was for a hatchery system, this has since been changed because of the Wild Salmon Policy (WSP), hopfully Coho will spawn in the area provided as well as pinks when they do return to the system.
