Corps team rescues white sturgeon at Chittenden Locks
A U.S. Army Corps of Engineers team rescued a 6-foot white sturgeon during the annual maintenance pump out at the Hiram M. Chittenden Locks November 10. Each year, Corps natural resource staff, fish biologists, scientists and volunteers go on a fish-rescue mission when the locks are drained. To ensure Endangered Species Act listed fish are safe, the team must capture, haul them out of the 50-foot deep chamber and release them. The team doesn’t limit its efforts to ESA listed species and this year the rescue included an estimated 100-pound sturgeon.
White Sturgeon Rescued
Dredging begins at Grays Harbor
Maintenance and deepening dredging of the inner harbor at Grays Harbor has begun. The first bucket of dredged material pictured here, a 35-cubic-yard rehandling bucket, is flanked by American Construction's Aaron McMahill and Chris Raymond.
Commander participates in disaster preparedness town hall
Seattle District Commander Col. John Buck participates in a town hall on disaster preparedness Oct. 4 at Thomas Jefferson High School in Auburn, Washington. King County Emergency Management Deputy Director Jody Miller also participated and King County Councilmember Pete von Reichbauer hosted the event. The public meeting provided an opportunity to remind citizens the importance of emergency and disaster preparedness.
USACE clears navigational hazards
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers personnel pick up logs out of the Puget Sound near downtown Seattle, Oct. 3, 2016. The logs were potential threats to navigation. The Corps has patrolled the Puget Sound to find and remove navigational hazards for more than a century. The Puget's crew collects large pieces of drift, waterlogged pilings, logs considered a hazardous to navigation and other debris. The Puget’s crew pick up about 1,000 tons of debris each year and this represents about 2,000 hazards to navigation.
USACE, partners test Mud Mountain Dam fish passage design
Technical staff from Seattle, Portland and Walla Walla Districts, the National Marine Fisheries Service and other partners were at the Engineering, Research & Development Center in July to test the latest Mud Mountain Dam fish barrier and fishway design. New facilities are scheduled to be in place by the end of 2020, subject to the availability of funds.
