摘要

Despite the efforts of BPA and other regional entities in the Pacific Northwest, some populations of fish and wildlife continue to decline. Reasons for the lack of success include the following: different groups have different values and priorities; there is no clear and agreed-upon scientific answer; and there are conflicting directives and jurisdictions. The absence of a comprehensive and coordinated planning approach has caused inefficiencies in both implementing and funding mitigation and recovery efforts. With respect to the Federal Columbia River Power System, BPA funds a large share of the regional efforts. BPA needs a comprehensive and consistent policy to guide the implementation and funding of its fish and wildlife mitigation and recovery efforts. BPA reviewed the many ongoing processes, identified key issues, and developed alternative policy directions based on alternatives developed by multiple existing initiatives in the Region. BPA examined five basic but distinctively different Policy Directions (Natural Focus, Weak Stock Focus, Sustainable Use Focus, Strong Stock Focus, and Commerce Focus) that offer a wide range of possible unified regional planning approaches. These alternatives arecompared against continuing the Status Quo, a baseline or 'no action,' approach. In this final environmental impact statement (FEIS), with the benefit of public comment and participation, BPA has developed and proposes a Preferred Alternative (PA 2002) that substantially combines elements of the Weak Stock and Sustainable Use alternatives and that falls within the established range of potential Policy Direction alternatives. This FEIS evaluates the environmental consequences of BPA's implementation and funding of sample actions that could emerge from any of the Policy Directions. BPA is working hard, through its implementation of the National Marine Fisheries Service's and U.S. Fish andWildlife Service's Biological Opinions, and the Pacific Northwest Power Planning Council's Columbia River Basin Fish and Wildlife Program, to complete a unified fish and wildlife mitigation and recovery policy. However, the timing and ultimate success of that effort is uncertain.
