Mission Falls Watershed Project

Mission Falls is a PL-566 project in cooperation with the Colville Confederated Tribes for re-establishment of anadromous fish passage in Omak Creek in central Washington. In 1928 this section of a pristine salmon and steelhead stream became a barrier for migration with rock and boulder debris from the construction of a railroad. The railroad line was later abandoned but the barrier remained. The Multi-State Design Team prepared a design for the removal of the barrier and an irrigation diversion. The project was completed in 1999 and is presently monitored by the Colville Confederated Tribes.
