Technical Report · Fri Aug 17 00:00:00 EDT 1984

OSTI ID:6028060

Concerned over how hydroelectric facilities on the Columbia River and its tributaries affect the region's fish and wildlife, the Congress moved to protect these natural resources through provisions of the Northwest Power Act. The act directed the Pacific Northwest Electric Power and Conservation Planning Council to prepare and adopt a regional fish and wildlife program. Congressman John Dingell asked GAO to review actions taken by the Council, the Bonneville Power Administration, and others to implement the fish and wildlife program. This report responds to the Congressman's six questions pertaining to funding and staffing levels, costs, and program focus or emphasis.
