 What's New:

October 6, 2004: Today the Action Agencies posted a document titled “Crosswalk of 2000 NOAA FCRPS BiOp RPA Actions and the 8/30/04 Draft UPA.” This document is intended to help enable readers of the Action Agencies’ 8/30/04 Draft Updated Proposed Action (UPA) to better understand the relationship and the differences between the Draft UPA and the 199 actions of the Reasonable and Prudent Alternative of the 2000 FCRPS Biological Opinion. Prior to finalization of NOAA’s 2004 FCRPS Biological Opinion, the Action Agencies will provide a Final UPA, which, as indicated in the crosswalk, will contain in several instances a greater level of information about specific actions.

September 9, 2004: Today NOAA Fisheries released and filed its Draft Biological Opinion ("BiOp") on the operations of the Federal Columbia River Power System. NOAA Fisheries is seeking comment from the salmon co-managers on the draft BiOp. Also released today is the FCRPS Action Agencies' Updated Proposed Action ("UPA"), upon which the Draft BiOp is based. Also available are all briefing materials and handouts.

August 31, 2004: NOAA Fisheries today announced that it's nearing completion of a draft strategy to protect Columbia and Snake River salmon and steelhead. The performance-based plan is expected to avoid jeopardy to ESA-listed species. The notice to the Court, a press release and a fact sheet are posted on the BiOp remand section of this website.
