WSDOT’s Fish Passage Program improves fish passage, reconnects streams and restores fish habitat to maintain a healthy waterway ecosystem. Driven by the agency’s environmental commitment and compliance with a 2013 U.S. Court injunction, WSDOT’s fish passage barrier corrections program has already completed more than 300 projects and restored an estimated 1,170 miles of habitat across the state.
To support all aspects of fish passage delivery in its Northwest Region, WSDOT awarded HNTB a General Engineering Contract in late 2019. In this role, HNTB serves as WSDOT’s owner representative for improvements in Island, King, Pierce, Snohomish, Skagit, and Whatcom counties.
More than one hundred HNTB team members - geomorphologists, stream design and environmental engineers, fishery biologists, project and procurement managers, project control staff, roadway, drainage, geotechnic, and structural engineers, utility engineers, and landscape architects - rise each morning to meet the great challenge of this work, knowing they are making a difference.
