Corps Releases Road Map for Breaching Snake River Dams to Protect Listed Salmon

摘要

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers on March 31 released its road map for breaching four dams along the lower Snake River, a plan that would be used only as a last resort to protect listed salmon.rnThe report, Lower Snake River Fish Passage Improvement Study: Dam Breaching Update. Plan of Study Report, is basically a road map that would be used to guide a full-blown, multiyear feasibility study, which would be initiated if the federal agencies determine that the biological opinion data demonstrate a "significant decline trigger" for the listed Snake River salmon, including the spring/summer chinook salmon, fall chinook, steelhead, and sockeye salmon.
