All,
Below is an email I sent to Reclamation regarding the sleeve valve fish mortality report. My email (below)was
generated in response to a very good question posed by Celine. I had forwarded the email to Ryan Christianson
to make sure I was understanding the report correctly. His response is attached.

I am not in the office, but in short, I agree. The best option is that they will accept the sleeve valve as the best
technology available, and let us operate without any other fish control measures. We can chat more next week
when I am back in the office.

most likely use in the early years.
