Lower Snake River Juvenile Salmon Migration Feasibility Report/Environmental Impact Statement. Part I: Chapters 1-4

Abstract

The Corps of Engineers, along with the Bonneville Power Administration, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and U.S. Bureau of Reclamation as cooperating agencies, analyzed four general alternatives intended to provide information on the technical, environmental, and economic effects of actions related to improving juvenile salmon passage. The four alternatives include Alternative 1-Existing Conditions (the no-action alternative) and three different ways to further improve juvenile salmon passage. The action alternatives are as follows: Alternative 2- Maximum Transport of Juvenile Salmon; Alternative 3-Major System Improvements; and Alternative 4-Dam Breaching. Based on a thorough examination of the best available biological, economic, social, and other environmental information, Alternative 3-Major System Improvements has been selected as the recommended plan (preferred alternative).
