Slide 4 B O N N E V I L L E P O W E R A D M I N I S T R A T I O N River Operations and Fish Mitigation – Currently playing out in the courts The growing demand from fisheries interests and the court is: –Spill more water for juvenile fish bypass –Shape system flows into spring and summer, and out of winter peak periods in support of juvenile migration –Reduce (flatten) daily peaking operations to provide improved rearing and spawning conditions –Include as a possibility, the breaching of the four lower snake dams if the BiOp does not improve endangered runs
