Title:	Columbia River Basin Tributary Habitat Restoration - Draft Environmental Assessment
Description:	The Bonneville Power Administration in cooperation with the Bureau of Reclamation prepared a draft environmental assessment (EA) for the proposed Columbia River Basin Tributary Habitat Restoration program. The EA describes the program and why it is needed, discusses the environmental impacts the associated projects would create, and lists the mitigation measures that would lessen those impacts. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: BPA in cooperation with the BOR proposes to implement a programmatic environmental review for tributary fish and wildlife habitat restoration actions throughout the Columbia River Basin in the states of Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, and Utah. These actions range from those such as fencing and planting; to bridge construction, instream habitat improvements, and stream channel reconstruction. Together, these actions represent an overall tributary habitat restoration program funded by Bonneville to mitigate for effects of the development and operation of the Federal Columbia River Power System (FCRPS) on fish and wildlife.
