Ozaukee County Planning and Parks Department is undertaking activities to enhance the operation and function of the fishway located at the Mequon-Thiensville Dam on the Milwaukee River. Project activities: Utilize prepared plans and specifications and operating under all required permits, construct a stable, non-deforming fishway channel that accommodates target species (including lake sturgeon and northern pike) swimming performance for all life stages and reduction in fishway operation and maintenance costs. Project deliverables: Provide to the Department a paper and digital summary report on the completed project, which shall result in a revised fishway entrance with optimal attractant flows, weir water velocities less than or equal to 3 feet per second, water depths through weirs greater than or equal to 1.5 feet, static water depths in pools greater than 3 feet, adequate cover as velocity breaks, head drop through weirs less than 0.5 feet, calculated using Milwaukee River median flows mid-March through mid-June.
