to the hatchery, which is located on the north bank of the Feather River. The hatchery produces 10 million salmon smolt, along with 450,000 trout smolt, to stock in the river each year. The salmon smolt are released in two runs, with 20% for the spring run and 80% for the fall run. This facility has been successful enough that concern exists that salmon of hatchery stock are outcompeting remaining wild salmon in the Feather River system.

Abstract: "Bureau of Reclamation cooperated with California Department of Water Resources to design and implement a snowpack augmentation program to increase runoff to Oroville Reservoir. The program involves collection of data to document physical processes leading to increased precipitation. This report summarizes main results from 3 yr of in-situ physical studies and statistical analysis of precipitation data collected during 87 randomized seeding cases. Liquid propane released from high elevation sites has proven to be a viable, reliable method of seeding wintertime clouds in the Sierra Nevada." 1968 establishments in California Buildings and structures in Butte County, California California Department of Water Resources dams California State Water Project Dams completed in 1968 Dams in California Dams in the Feather River basin Earth-filled dams Energy infrastructure completed in 1968 Feather River Hydroelectric power plants in California Oroville, California Underground power stations United States Army Corps of Engineers dams Water in California Dams with fish ladders
