"The construction of Illinois Falls fish ladder on the Illinois River in Oregon was completed in November 1961. The ladder was opened and operated during the winter of 1961-62. Final cleanup and rock removal was completed in the fall of 1962. The ladder was installed on a natural barrier where fish passage was delayed by low and moderately high river levels. The facility installed was a concrete vertical baffle-type fishway patterned after the Hells Gate fishway in use on the Fraser River in Canada. Since the ladder has been installed, salmon and steelhead have arrived at upper river areas much earlier than previously recorded. Concentrations of fish have not been observed below the falls."

"Unity Reservoir in Baker County, Oregon, was chemically treated with liquid rotenone on October 17, 1962. Approximately 136 miles of streams and diversion ditches and seven small ponds, tributary to the reservoir, were treated with liquid rotenone prior to work on the reservoir. The reservoir at time of treatment contained 1,700 acre-feet of water and covered 320 acres. A total of 700 gallons of liquid synergized rotenone was used on the tributary system and 850 gallons in the impoundment...Chemical tests of water were made to determine rotenone content...The reservoir was restocked with rainbow trout...A successful sport fishery developed in the fall of 1963 for 6 to 10-inch rainbow trout."

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Habitat Improvement Project, No. 8 Author: Oregon. State Game Commission. Fishery Division, Borovicka, Robert L., Gerlach, Arthur H. "Miller Lake was chemically treated with toxaphene on September 16, 1958 to destroy a population of parasitic lamprey (E.tridentatus) and Tui Chub (Siphatelep bicolor). Toxaphene was applied at the rate of 0.04 ppm. No lamprey or fish have been collected in the lake since the chemical treatment. Work since 1959 has been in the form of testing the water for residual toxaphene and toxicity to trout. Materials and water were analyzed by Charlton Laboratories in Portland, Oregon by paper chromatography. The Agricultural Chemistry Department at Oregon State University conducted the majority of the analyses by gas chromatography. The detailed information on the chemical treatment was reported in a progress report February 13, 1959. Testing of Miller Lake will continue under Federal Aid Project No. F-20-D-20."
