Person cleaning mud and sediment from the steelhead eggs. As a result of the damage to the Oroville Dam spillway, sediment levels in the Feather River increased significantly over a short period of time. The Feather River Hatchery obtains its water directly from the Feather River for operation of the facility. In order to reduce the impacts associated with high levels of turbidity, Feather River Hatchery staff worked continually to clean mud and sediment from the steelhead eggs, housed in "egg stacks," which were too sensitive to be moved elsewhere. This extensive effort helped save approximately 700,000 threatened California Central Valley steelhead, while engineers from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife developed alternative means of bringing clean water to the developing eggs.
