Why: The Fall Creek Adult Fish Collection Facility represents a successful piece of Portland District’s implementation of the 2008 Willamette Biological Opinion. The Corps completed construction, commissioned and fully operated this facility starting in March 2018. This new facility replaced an antiquated one that did not meet fish passage criteria, and the Corps predicts it will increase the likelihood of Spring Chinook recovery for Fall Creek and for the Willamette Valley as a whole.
Fall Creek is an important tributary in the Middle Fork Willamette Sub-basin, because it typically sustains populations of naturally reproducing Spring Chinook at or near levels of historic abundance. Fall Creek also acts as important habitat for Pacific lamprey, winter steelhead, native resident fish species, native plants and native wildlife resources.
