Scope Of Work
To help with the reintroduction of anadromous fish into the upper Cowlitz River Basin, Tacoma Power originally constructed the Cowlitz Falls Fish Facility in the late 1990’s. To further refine this effort, Prospect Construction has been contracted to upgrade the current facility. The project requires careful planning, coordination, timing, and temporary bypasses to facilitate the construction of the upgrades, as all work must be performed while the facility remains in full operation. Major components of work include developing an existing spring with an outlet weir, infiltration gallery and pump station, juvenile holding pools, adult handing area, remodeling the sampling building, construction of a new office/storage building, improvements to the existing CFNSC electrical building and replacing an existing air compressor system with a duplex compressor package.
