Mainstem amendments

August 2003 update: The Council posted the final publication version of the mainstem amendments, including the two appendices. It also posted a notice of final action in the Federal Register, signifying the completion of the mainstem amendment process.

In April 2003, the Council followed a nearly two-year public process by adopting mainstem amendments to its Columbia River Basin Fish and Wildlife Program with a description of river conditions and tests of dam operations intended to protect all fish and wildlife that utilize mainstem rivers as habitat.
