Chinook Rearing and Acclimation Pond
Electron Hydro has constructed a new rearing and acclimation pond facility for salmon enhancement immediately below the diversion for use by the Puyallup Tribe. The pond will hold young fish for 2-3 months that will then be released to the Puyallup River.
On April 8, 2020 the Puyallup Tribe Fisheries Department stocked Electron's pond with over 320,000 young Chinook Salmon. These Chinook smolt were released into the river on May 29, 2020!
