Mokelumne River Project, Woodbridge, CAThe new 167-foot-long fish passage facility on the Mokelumne River in Northern California is a model for fish passages worldwide. For decades the river was a well-known Coho salmon and steelhead migratory stream. A series of irrigation dams built since 1910 contained crude fish ladders to mitigate migration, that over time became less and less effective. By 1995 no steelhead were counted and the salmon run was nearly non-existent. The project team designed the new facility to include pneumatically operated steel gates and three state-of-the-art high and low-water fish ladders. In the facility’s first year of operation, over 16,000 salmon passed through the new ladders and 180 steelhead returned to their upstream hatchery beds.This projects was the recipient of the American Council of engineering companies 2007 Engineering Excellence Grand Award.
