In The Field 



The Program includes some 250 measures to 

 rebuild fish and wildlife populations. Those 

 measures, grouped into broad categories, 

 address the following: 



• Downstream migration of young salmon and 

 steeihead past the dams, including - 



• manipulating the river flows to provide 

 more water during peak migration 

 months of April, May and June 



• constructing fish screens and other bypass 

 facilities to keep young fish away from 

 turbines 



» using barges and trucks to carry young 

 fish past the dams and release them 

 downstream 



• Upstream migration of mature salmon and 

 steeihead toward their spawning sites. 



• Propagation of hatchery-bred salmon and 

 steeihead, and how they interact with wild 

 fish. 



• Non-migratory game fish, and how their 

 lives near the reservoirs are affected by the 

 operation of dams. 



• Wildlife, and how to compensate for habitat 

 altered or flooded by dam reservoirs. 



The projects funded by Bonneville — and the 

 ratepayers — are based on these measures.
