Kleinschmidt has provided high-level assessments of potential upstream and downstream fish passage options that could be included in the facility's planned rehabilitation. Work has included assisting in identifying species management goals, developing design criteria for upstream and downstream passage alternatives, and developing concept-level designs of potential new and modified fish passage facilities.
