Background

Discharge reductions associated with the operation of HLK and Brilliant Dams on the Lower Columbia River, British Columbia, can cause fish stranding.

The management question the current analysis attempts to answer is:

Which operations, and at what season, pose the highest risk of stranding or interference with the normal life cycles of sculpins and dace?
