TABULAR REPORT 



QUESTION: Now I'd like to read you some proposals people have made about 

 hydroelectric dam licenses. For each, please tell me whether you would strongly 

 favor, somewhat favor, somewhat oppose or strongly oppose such a proposal. 

 First.. 



#1. Requiring utility companies to provide fish ladders over dams 

 and screens over dams' electric turbines so that fish can safely 

 pass by the dam going both upstream and downstream. These 

 changes would keep fish from being ground up in the dam's 

 turbines and help fish reach spawning areas, [n-i ,009]

#2. Shortening the duration of dam licenses so that power 

 companies will have to more frequently upgrade their dams with 

 technological advances that make them more efficient and safer for 

 the environment. [N-1,009]

#3. Requiring power companies to set aside five percent of the
