East Fork Irrigation District

The East Fork Irrigation District Will Upgrade the Oanna and Yasui Sublateral Irrigation Pipeline With 10,700 Feet of High Density Polyethylene Pipe and Install Nine Pressure Reducing Stations Along the New Pipeline to Improve Water Reliability and Increase Instream Flows in the East Fork Hood River and Mainstem Hood River in Northwestern Oregon. the East Fork Hood River Supports Populations of Spring Chinook Salmon, Winter and Summer Steelhead, and Coho, Which Are Federally Listed Under the Endangered Species Act. the District Currently Diverts Over 80 of the Streamflow for Consumptive Use During the Peak of Irrigation Season. the Pipeline Upgrades Will Create an Enclosed, Pressure Rated System That Will Conserve Water and Decrease the District S Water Diversion, Increasing Streamflow and Adequate Fish Habitat for Native Fish Populations. This Project Is Supported by the Hood River Conservation Strategy for the Hood River Watershed. the Project Has Support From Local Irrigation Districts, the Confederated Tribes of the Warm Springs Reservation, Oregon Water Resources Department, Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, Local Governments, and the Hood River Watershed Group.
