THE VALUE OF THE FEDERAL COLUMBIA RIVER

The Federal Columbia River Power System is one of the largest multiple-use river systems in the world. The Bonneville Power Administration markets the electricity, and it owns and operates more than three-fourths of the high-voltage transmission grid in the Pacific Northwest. The federal system has been, and continues to be, the

Columbia River System Operations (CRSO) Project (DOE/EIS

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Bureau of Reclamation, and Bonneville Power Administration, as co-lead agencies, developed the EIS in response to the need to review and update management of the Columbia River System, which is comprised of 14 Federal dam and reservoir projects in Idaho, Montana, Oregon, and Washington.

Northwest Power Act

The last mainstem dams of the 31-dam Federal Columbia River Power System, Lower Granite on the Snake, and Libby on the Kootenai in Montana, were completed in 1975. It was widely perceived that the Northwest soon would run out of electricity unless new power plants were built to augment the hydropower supply. Because power from new plants would
