Seven major strategies
- Water management
- Juvenile fish passage survival
- Juvenile reservoir survival
- Adult passage survival
- Water quality improvements
- Resolve critical uncertainties
- Enhance operation and maintenance of fish passage facilities
Water management strategies
- Limit drawdown of reservoirs to increase spring flows and probability of reservoir refill
- Draft from storage reservoirs during summer to increase summer flows
- Provide flows in the fall and winter to support mainstem spawning below Bonneville Dam
- Acquisition of water from non federal sources
Flow objectives
- Lower Granite
- Priest Rapids
- McNary
- Bonneville
Water management by project
- Snake River
- Lower Columbia River
- Upper Columbia River
Juvenile fish transportation
- Spring migration
- Summer migration
- Other actions
Structural passage improvements at specific projects
- Lower Columbia River
- Lower Snake River
Implementation planning and institutional arrangements for in-season management
- Implementation planning/one- and five-year plans
- In-season implementation process
- Emergencies
Performance standards for hydrosystem operations
- Biological hydro performance standards
- Physical performance standards
