     PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - The Confederated Tribes of the Warm

Springs and Portland General Electric have agreed to restore fish

passage around the Pelton and Round Butte dams, which they own

jointly.

     The project will allow downriver passage of salmon and steelhead

in the Metolius, Upper Deschutes and Crooked rivers for the first

time in 40 years.

     The tribe and utility say passage will be restored through a

unique 273-foot underwater tower and fish collection station at

Round Butte Dam.

     The tower is designed to modify currents and temperatures to

mimic natural conditions and attract migrating fish into the

collection facility.

     These fish will be sorted, and young salmon and steelhead will

be trucked downstream past Pelton Dam to continue to the Columbia

River and the Pacific Ocean.
