The Cle Elum Dam Fish Passage project is a Steepened Slope Welded Wire Wall built to support a fish passageway through the Cle Elum Dam. The wall is 10,728sf, 20 feet tall, and is located at the Cle Elum Dam on the outskirts of Ronald, Washington.
This project was constructed as part of an ongoing collaboration between the Yakama Nation and the Bureau of Reclamation to reintroduce sockeye salmon and other fish into the Columbia River and its tributaries that have been previously blocked by dams and other infrastructure.
The wall was constructed by Malcolm International and is owned and designed by both the Department of the Interior and the Bureau of Reclamation.
