Objectives The facility lies within the Battle Creek Hydrologic Subarea. The hatchery facilities are spread out over the 80 acre property and consist of 20 residences for hatchery staff, a large hatchery building, two separate raceway series (an Upper Raceway Series and a Lower Raceway Series), a large spring-fed Brood Pond, a main office, a vehicle maintenance building, a former freezer building (used only for storage at this time) and multiple bulk feed storage bins. Source water for the Facility comes from Darrah Springs and the Pacific Power Ditch and wastewater is discharged directly to Darrah Creek and the Pacific Power Ditch, both of which are tributary to the Coleman Canal, a tributary to Battle Creek, a water of the United States and the State.
