3.6. E.l Re-examine all Columbia River Basin flood control 

 (page 34) strategies and rules to identify modifications that 

 will yield more useful or shapeable flows for fish 

 (Report due 12/31/93) (Corps lead). 



Background: This measure is being implemented by the SOR's Flood Control Work 

 Group. The group is on schedule with the rest of the SOR and has developed 

 technical methods for a detailed evaluation of the effects of different 

 operational alternatives on the flood control objectives for the Columbia 

 River Basin reservoirs. 



Recent Activity: The work group is presently conducting a detailed analysis 

 of the 19 operating options and resultant effects on Columbia basin flood 

 control requirements. Work has been completed on a preliminary draft of the 

 technical appendix; the draft appendix should be completed by early October.

3.6. F. 11 Identify the impacts of flow operations for salmon and 

 (page 35) steelhead on resident fish and wildlife; include 

 impacts on recreation (Reclamation co-lead). 



Background: This measure is being implemented by the Resident Fish Work Group 

 of the SOR. The work group is on track with the rest of the SOR and has 

 developed analytical methods and criteria for the full-scale analysis of 

 candidate strategies. 



Recent Activity: The Resident Fish Work Group is presently analyzing the 

 effects of the 19 operating options on resident fish resources and expects to 

 finish a draft technical appendix detailing the results of the analysis by 

 early October.
