City Light operates a dam on the Cedar River and Seattle Public Utilities (SPU) has a
diversion dam
downstream at Landsburg. Through the Cedar River Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP), SPU is committed to building a fish ladder at Landsburg to allow chinook and coho to reach 17 miles of prime spawning grounds. After the fish ladder is built, City Light will provide guaranteed minimum
instream flows
to support salmon. We will also build a barrier below the dam to keep salmon from entering the powerhouse.
