  • The 2016 Comprehensive Evaluation

    In January 2017, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Bureau of Reclamation and Bonneville Power Administration finalized ​the 2016 Federal Columbia River Power System (FCRPS) Comprehensive Evaluation ​​​describing eight years of progress implementing NOAA Fisheries' Biological Opinion for operation of the FCRPS for ESA-listed salmon and steelhead.

    The ​publication outlines the agencies' accomplishments in dam passage improvements, habitat restoration, hatchery reform and predator management as well as the status of the fish. 
     

    The 2016 Citizen's Guide summarizes highlights of the Comprehensive Evaluation in pictures, maps and graphs.
