Description of Request: On November 13, 2017, the licensee filed an application to amend its license to construct and operate a permanent upstream fish passage facility at the Cabinet Gorge Hydroelectric Development at the Clark Fork Project in Bonner County, Idaho. The licensee would use this facility to capture and transport native migratory salmonids, with a focus on the federally-listed as threatened bull trout. The proposed fishway would allow the licensee to collect target species at the dam, transport them to an existing fish handling and holding facility for processing, and transport them to tributaries in Montana upstream of the Cabinet Gorge Dam or return them to the Lower Clark Fork River based on genetic assignments or size of the fish. The new facility would be located on the south bank of the Clark Fork River, immediately downstream of the Cabinet Gorge Dam. l.
