Video update by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife featuring Gov. Kate Brown provides background information on the long-standing project to rehabilitate the Wallowa Lake dam.

In 2020, ODFW along with the Wallowa Lake Irrigation District, Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation and the Nez Perce Tribe signed an agreement regarding the release and protection of instream water from Wallowa Lake.

The Memorandum of Agreement was a necessary step for the partners to obtain state funding to complete improvements on the Wallowa Dam. This year, the Legislature will disburse funds needed to commence work and implement the MOA.
