Construction crews began work in March on the new Nason Creek Acclimation Facility, located adjacent to Nason Creek at the Highway 2 Bridge (rivermile 82). The facility will rear spring Chinook throughout winter and early spring months until they are released into Nason Creek each May.
The $6 million facility is being constructed by Strider Construction Co., Inc. out of Bellingham, Wash. The facility features an acclimation building which will house eight 30-foot diameter fiberglass tanks, a maintenance building, and a caretaker’s residence. Underground piping will carry water from the river to the acclimation building. The facility is expected to be complete by June 2014 and will be operated by the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife.
The project is the result of nearly 15 years of planning MORE
