U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Maintenance Worker Keith Pommerening, employee of Little Goose Lock and Dam, discusses the day's transport schedule with a colleague at Lower Granite, Sunday, Aug. 30, 2026. Constant communication and coordination are vital to the success of the juvenile fish transport program, which plays a significant role in salmon and steelhead survival.
After loading the juvenile at the two facilities, Keith will commute to Bonneville, approximately six hours in one direction to drop off the cargo. The next day will be a drive back to the two dams and will repeat the process the following day. The fish truck transport runs every other day between August and November.
