The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW), the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW), the Confederated Tribes and Bands of the Yakama Nation (YN), the Idaho Department of Fish and Game (IDFG), the Nez Perce Tribe (NPT); and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS)

The Mitchell Act specifically directs the establishment of salmon hatcheries, the conduct of engineering and biological surveys and experiments, and the installation of fish protective devices.

With the listing of many of the Columbia River Basin salmon and steelhead populations under the Endangered Species Act, substantial changes have been and will continue to be required of the Mitchell Act Program. The Mitchell Act environmental impact statement (EIS) will be finalized in 2014 and will provide a basis to inform the policy direction for distribution of future Mitchell Act hatchery funding.
