Description Water temperature is a critical element of salmonid survival in Chamokane Creek. Significant volumes of relatively cool water discharge from two fish hatcheries into Chamokane Creek. The Department of Ecology (Ecology), the Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW), and the Spokane Tribe of Indians (STOI) jointly conducted a study to shade portions of the WDFW run Ford Fish Hatchery and quantified the temperature reduction of hatchery water discharge. Water temperatures were also monitored at the Spokane Tribal Hatchery. This report describes the outcomes of that project.
