Key Recommendations 



■ BonneviUe Power Administration should aggres- 

 sively pursue Westwide electricity marketing and 

 exchange opportunities and water purchases from 

 agriculture, and should implement the recommen- 

 dations of the DeFazio task force. It should adopt 

 rate structures and sales contracts that encourage 

 greater compatibility between energy use and 

 salmon flow needs. 



■ The Army Corps of Engineers should revise its 

 construction designs for drawdo«m-related dam 

 modifications to make them more cost-effective. 



and should eliminate unnecessary delay from its 

 design and construction schedules. 



■ The Bureau of Reclamation should pursue and 

 facilitate voluntary transfers of water for 

 streamflows, and work with states to establish 

 markets. 



■ The Northwest Power Planning Council should 

 promote the above actions through its salmon and 

 power plans, and should estimate the cost of salmon 

 restoration plans taking full account of the cost- 

 minimizing opportunities identified in this report.
