In response to requests from tribal, federal, state and local representatives, Seattle City Light will conduct some fish passage studies as part of the relicensing process for its Skagit River Hydroelectric Project.
The city utility filed an updated proposed study plan this week with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), and Seattle City Light Skagit License Manager Andrew Bearlin discussed the new document and next steps Wednesday with the Skagit Watershed Council.
âWeâve added four new study proposals. . Obviously fish passage has become an issue,â Bearlin said during his presentation to the watershed council.
Two additions are Fish Passage Technical Studies and the Skagit River Gorge Bypass Reach Hydraulic and Instream Flow Model Development Study.
