We are river advocates and want fish passage at the Bend hydro dam
Over the past decade in and near Bend, Oregon, fish passage was added to dams and one dam was removed entirely. But there's one exception: PacifiCorp's Bend hydro dam near downtown Bend. From Wickiup dam near the headwaters to reservoir Lake Billy Chinook 90 miles away, the Bend hydro project is the only dam lacking fish passage.
Historically, the dam had a fish ladder but PacifiCorp removed it. We want them to add fish passage to their dam.
