APPENDIX 3 -- ADDITIONAL READING 



There have been a number of reports and articles on the institutional issues 

 involved in the Columbia River over the past several years. A selected and, it is hoped, 

 representative list: 



Naiman, Magnuson, McKnight and Stanford, eds.. The Freshwater Imperative: A 

 Research Agenda (Island Press, 1995), chapter 5 (a broad discussion of institutional and 

 governance issues associated with river basins). 



National Research Council, Upstream: Salmon and Society in the Pacific 

 Northwest (1995) (contends that the biological range of sahnon is too diverse to be 

 manageable as a unit; stresses the importance of vesting adequate resources in any 

 management structure, but notes that management also must be decentralized because 

 decisions must be carried out by parties whose responsibilities are narrower, urges 

 development of an ecosystem approach to management and ways to link the interests of 

 stakeholders to biogeography as well as economies; and stresses the importance of an 

 adaptive approach, which is designed from the outset to test clearly identified hypotheses 

 about an ecosystem being changed by human use). 



Nez Perce, Umatilla, Warm Springs and Yakama Tribes, Wy-Kan-Ush-Mi-Wa- 

 Kish-Wit, Spirit of the Salmon, Volume 1, Sections 4 and 5 (review draft, June 15, 1995) 

 (four Columbia River Treaty tribes' recommendations for institutional changes needed to 

 respond to the tribes' treaty rights, focusing on managing production and harvest through 

 the U.S. V. Oregon and the Northwest Power Act processes, transfer of certain federal 

 hatcheries to the tribes, and limiting policy barriers to the use of artificial propagation as 

 a tool for salmon restoration). 



National Marine Fisheries Service, Proposed Recovery Plan for Snake River 

 Salmon, Chapter IE (March 1995) (proposed Snake River salmon recovery plan whose 

 implementation would be overseen and coordinated by the National Marine Fisheries 

 Service). 



Duncan, et al., discussing the merits of a "Columbia Basin Watershed Planning 

 Council," 10 Illahee (Winter 1994) (Duncan proposes that the Northwest Power Planning 

 Council be expanded to account for watershed-wide issues relating to fish and wildlife 

 habitat; responses raise various advantages and disadvantages of such an approach). 



Bonneville Power Administration, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and U.S. 

 Bureau of Reclamation, Columbia River System Operation Review, Draft Environmental 

 Impact statement. Appendix Q, Columbia River Regional Forum (July 1994) (analyzes 

 several alternative governance structures for operating the Columbia River system).
