Developing a Mainstem Plan for the Fish and Wildlife Program
October 12, 2001
In March 2001, the Northwest Power Planning Council issued a request
for recommendations for a mainstem plan for the Columbia and Snake
rivers, to be adopted as an amendment to the Council's
2000 Columbia River Basin Fish and Wildlife Program.
As required by the Northwest Power Act, the Council made the recommendations
available for public comment. The Council is now preparing draft
amendments to the fish and wildlife program based on the recommendations,
on documents and information supporting the recommendations, and on the
comments, views and information obtained through public comment and
consultations with various agencies, tribes and others in the
region. The Council expects to release the draft amendments sometime
after the beginning of 2002. As the Council prepares draft
amendments, interested parties are free to continue providing public
comment to the Council and staff on the recommendations, and on the
mainstem issues presented in this amendment process. After the
release of the draft amendments, the Council will conduct another public
comment period and a set of public hearings on the draft amendments before
adopting final program amendments.
The following comments on recommendations are in Acrobat
