About half <br />of the $100 million will <br />go to the Corps of En- <br />'gineers for installation <br />of additional screens <br />and bypass systemS at <br />federal dams. That <br />amount will be repaid <br />by Bonneville ov,er the <br />life of the hydrop'ower <br />projects. <br />Additional actions <br />,\ <br />that will be implem- <br />ented over time will <br />increase program costs <br />in the future. The <br />Council is committed <br />'to carefully evaluating the biological <br />effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of these <br />measures before they are implemented.' <br /> <br />industries and others <br />throughout the <br />Columbia ;Basin, <br />Because the Bonne- <br />villePower Administra- <br />tion provides the <br />. majority of program <br />funding, we ask the <br />agency to work with <br />other implementors to <br />coordinqte and manage <br />, these effo)ts. <br />The success or failure <br />of these efforts will be <br />evaluated by an inde- <br />pendent group of scien- <br />tists. We at theCotlncil <br />will also monitor these <br />efforts continuously. <br />We are prep(j.red to <br />opel) a new amendment <br />process in M~lfch 1993 to <br />review and updateac-, <br />tions called for in this program, We expect to <br />conch,lde that process in Octobet1993.... <br /> <br />To save the. s. e.. <br />. . salmon we <br />musf change <br />. i the way we <br />operate · <br />our dams, , <br />\ irrigate <br />'our farms, <br />ship our <br />commodities <br />and Jislt in <br />our waters. <br /> <br />The public spoke <br /> <br />Who does the work? <br /> <br />Jus~ as th~ salmon need our'help all alo~g <br />their journey, each.of us along that path <br />must participate. We:ve included a wide <br />range of activities in this strategy involving <br />many interests-government agencies, the <br />tribes, private landowners, fishers, <br /> <br />Salmon are worth saving. <br />, That's not just our position. 'nlat's an un- <br />deilying th<7me of comments we heard at <br />mor~ than 20 public hearings around the re- <br />gion. It was the conclusion of the majority of <br />the mqre than 1,000 written comments we <br />were sent. But the public is deeply divided <br />\on how to proceed and who should pay. <br /> <br />1967 , <br />Hells Canyon Dam begins operation, blocking salmqn R-om the upper Snake River, <br /> <br /> <br />1973 . <br />Congress passes/he Endangered Species Act. <br />\ <br /> <br />>, <br />
