Marble Bluff Dam News Today

It’s spawning day at the Lahontan National Fish Hatchery Complex, and volunteers clad in rubber boots and jackets move quickly around the south Gardnerville building, fishing nets in hand.

Federal and tribal spawning operations are vital in the ongoing recovery of Lahontan cutthroat trout on the Truckee River and Pyramid Lake, but it is unclear whether the fish can continue to rebound without intensive human intervention.

These funds were allocated through the Department of Interior’s Bureau of Reclamation from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.

U.S. Senators Catherine Cortez Masto and Jacky Rosen have announced $2 million in funding for the Marble Bluff Dam along Pyramid Lake and the Truckee River.

Nearly $2.5 million in federal infrastructure funding was awarded today to improve and maintain the Marble Bluff Dam.
