§ 5935 Dam Fishway Maintenance

• •If you own a dam with a fish ladder, you must keep it working and open.
• •The fish ladder must always be clear so fish can swim through.
• •If you don't fix or keep it open, you're breaking the law.

A person owns a dam with a fish ladder, but they let branches and trash block it so fish can't get through.

This is against the law because the owner must keep the fish ladder open and working so fish can swim past the dam.
