On the Columbia River, hydropower facilities provide challenges for the Columbia River salmon and steelhead stocks to access habitat and migrate to the ocean. In addition, some areas are completely blocked to salmon and steelhead by hydropower and other dam projects. This work group is looking at recommendations to address these challenges. A roster of work group members is here. The group meets monthly via Zoom Webinar.
Upcoming Meeting
The next Blocked Areas subgroup meeting is scheduled for September 21st from 9-11am PT/10am-12pm MT.
The next Hydropower subgroup meeting is scheduled for October 19th from 9-10:30am PT/10-11:30am MT.
Please contact Angela Hessenius (ahessenius@kearnswest.com) if you are interested in observing these meetings or other future meetings.
