By 1976, releases had been made from two USFWS 

 hatcheries and 11 hatcheries and 1 rearing pond oper- 

 ated by the Idaho Department of Fish and Game (IDFG) 

 (Table 17). Of these, two are especially notable. Dwor- 

 shak NFH was constructed at a cost of over $16 million 

 by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. It was built as 

 compensation for the loss of a large run of steelhead trout 

 cut off by the construction of Dworshak Dam. It is one of 

 the largest and most modern of the Pacific coast facili- 



ties. The State's Rapid River Hatchery (funded by Idaho 

 Power Company) has been very successful as a spring 

 chinook salmon station. From initial return of 1,039 

 immature male fish (jacks) in 1968, the run has grown 

 until in 1973 the total number of returning fish reached a 

 high in excess of 17,000. 



Of the 14 facilities, only the 6 on the Clearwater and 

 Salmon River drainages are directly accessible to return- 

 ing fish (Fig. 7). The remainder are above the limits for
