project la scheduled for completion In April, I96I. This is an experimental 

 structure whioh will facilitate the migration of Rainbow Trout and studies 

 will be made of the operation. 



Prelimineo'y planning was continued for the renovation of the 

 Normandale (Walsh) Hatchery and Trout Rearing Station. 



At Hill's Lake, planning was commenced for the replacement of 

 approximately 1,200 feet of old reinforced concrete supply flume which has 

 deteriorated, with a buried 16 inch diameter asbestos-cement water main. 

 This flume is essential to hatchery operation as it carries the entire 

 water supply. This project is to be undertaken d\iring the coming fiscal 

 year. 



At the Dor ion Hatchery and Trout Rearing Station, 20 new rearing 

 troughs of overlaid plywood were constructed and installed by the hatchery 

 staff. The water supply to this section was renovated by eliminating the 

 old wooden head trough and molasses gates, and installing on asbestos cement 

 supply main on the floor from which the new troughs are supplied via a 

 system of rigid plastic pipe risers, headers and valves. 



At the Pembroke Hatchery and Trout Rearing Station, 24 new 

 reinforced-plastic rearing troughs were installed on modern metal supports 

 and placed in service. Field work was undertaken to provide data for 

 possible improvements to the water collection system. A project will be 

 set up to extend the collecting trench in an effort to increase the volume 

 of flow.
