high percentage of fish. Again 1 15 percent does not need to be exceeded to provide 

 reasonable fish passage conditions. 



CoDclusioD 



I see little merit in spilling up to 120% TDG at all dams, when I consider the above 

 facts. The risk of GBT to both adults and juveniles at 120% TDG at all dams for the long 

 duration proposed (April 14 to August 31) outweighs the possible benefit of improved FPE. 

 I recommend that the Commission and the Department deny NMFS' request, and would 

 restrict tailwater TDG concentration to a maximum of 115%. 



Sincerely,
