consideration of resident fishamendrr^ents. Propoaed projects must be supported by 

 documentation of or agreementrin tosses attributable to Ihe hydroelectric facility at issue, evidence 

 that Significant biological gams wili occur from the project and evidence that the project will not 

 result in Significant conflict with anadromous frsh restoration efforts The application is deficient on 

 all three points 



704'YIN This application would add a measure to program section 704 to have Bonneville fund 

 design and construction of adult passage facilities at Castille Falls on the Klickitat River. This 

 project provides an opportunity to answer questions on adult passage, habitat use, colonization, 

 and hatchery supplementation, as well as to provide additional harvest benefits. The Council staff 

 proposes to reject this application because the proposed project already is in the program in 

 704(d)(1). Table 2 (SeeieUSC 839b(h)(7)(C) ) 



800 ODFW Tne Council staff proposes to reject this amendment application which requests 

 Bonneville funding for a study to determine how best to mitigate adverse impacts of hydropower 

 development on trout production and fisheries caused by impounoment of the Middle Fork 

 Willamette River by Lookout Point Dam This application tails to document an agreement on 

 resident fish losses attributable to the hydroelectric facility at issue as required by program section 

 804(e)(l6). Consultations with the project operator (Corps' and the applicant (ODFW) have-shown 

 that there is disagreement whether mitigation for losses nas occurred For this reason the staff 

 cannot determine whether or not the proposed amendment addresses effects of the development, 

 operation and management of Lookout Point Dam (See 16 U.S.C, 839b(h)(5)(B).) In addition, the 

 applicant has not provided evidence that the proposal- would not conflict with restoration of salmon 

 and steelhead, as required by program section 804(e)(l6)
