10.7 Provide and Evaluate Use of Shoreline Vegetation
10.7A Vegetation Plantings
Bonneville, Other Federal Agencies, States, Hydroelectric Project Owners and Other Entities as Appropriate
10.7A.1 Fund test vegetation plantings at appropriate reservoirs and evaluate results. Appropriate reservoirs might include Hills Creek, Dworshak, Libby, Hungry Horse, Lake Roosevelt and others. Incorporate the results of shoreline vegetation studies at Revelstoke and other reservoirs into this test. Based on the results of the test plantings, fund a feasibility study to identify which hydroelectric projects in the basin would benefit from revegetation improvements.
Bonneville
10.7A.2 Combine the information developed from test plantings in all reservoirs in the basin with a site-specific examination of the effect of operation levels on plant species and survival, the identification of areas likely to produce the most beneficial impacts on targeted fisheries, as well as an assessment of cost/benefit, permitting, environmental impact and overall feasibility. The results and recommendations of this study are to be submitted to the Council by December 31, 1998. Upon Council approval, fund implementation of recommendations.
