Fishways and Locks Planned for Bradford Island Dam
The project includes three fish lock sets at Bradford Island with an estimated 3.5 million dollar cost. Upstream migrants will be funneled into locks and ladders by rapid tailrace flow while downstream fingerlings use bypasses. This year's run, 100000 fish daily, prompts adjustable stop logs to route fish through shiplock bulkhead openings or power chamber gaps.
