The Cowlitz salmon hatchery is planned for renovation because it is over 30 years old. The remodeled hatchery will have a planned capacity of 650,000 - 800,000 pounds. That doesn’t make it physically smaller than the existing facility because the existing hatchery produces over 900,000 pounds by over-loading ponds. The low-end 650,000 pound facility is considered large enough by anadromous fish hatchery experts at WDFW, NMFS, USFWS, and private consultants to produce enough hatchery smolts to fully replace all the spring chinook, fall chinook, coho salmon steelhead, and cutthroat trout that migrated upstream of the Mayfield Dam site prior to construction of any of the Cowlitz River dams, even if the reintroduction program in the upper Cowlitz River basin is a total failure. Tacoma in under no legal obligation to provide hatchery mitigation fish in numbers exceeding the impacts of their hydroelectric project. They are obligated only to mitigate for losses attributable to their project.
