Book excerpt: The Status of the Interior Columbia Basin is a summary of the scientific findings from the Interior Columbia Basin Ecosystem Management Project. The Interior Columbia Basin includes some 145 million acres within the northwestern United States. Over 75 million acres of this area are managed by the USDA Forest Service or the USDI Bureau of Land Management. A framework for ecosystem management is described that assumes the broad purpose is to maintain the integrity of ecosystems over time and space. An integrated scientific assessment links landscape, aquatic, terrestrial, social, and economic characterizations to describe the biophysical and social systems. Ecosystem conditions within the Basin have changed substantially within the last 100 years. The status of ecosystems is described in terms of current conditions and trends under three broadly defined management options. The scientific information brought forward will be used in decision-making, and may potentially amend Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management plans within the Basin. The information highlighted here represents an integrated view of biophysical and socioeconomic elements at a scale never before attempted. The risks and opportunities are characterized in the broad context of the Basin for managers and the public to use as a foundation for discussion about future management.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Columbia River is one of the greatest natural resources in the western United States. The river and its tributaries touch the lives of nearly every resident of the Pacific Northwest-from fostering world-famous Pacific salmon to supplying clean natural fuel for 50 to 65 percent of the region's electrical generation. Since early in the 20th century, public and private agencies have labored to capture the benefits of this dynamic river. Today, dozens of major water resource projects throughout the region are fed by the waters of the Columbia Basin river system. Through cooperative efforts, floods that periodically threaten development near the river can be controlled. This publication presents a detailed explanation of the planning and operation of the multiple-use dams and reservoirs of the Columbia River system. It describes the river system, those who operate and use it, the agreements and policies that guide system operations, and annual planning for multiple-use operation. A glossary and a reference list can be found at the end of this document. The Inside Story was originally written for the participants in a multiyear environmental study of river operations called the Columbia River System Operation Review (SOR). The SOR was conducted jointly by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps), the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation), and the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA). In 1995, as a result of actions under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) and the SOR, the three Federal agencies formally adopted an operating strategy for the river system that supports the recovery of Columbia River Basin fish listed under the ESA. The strategy incorporated the recommendations of the National marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) to recover several stocks of Snake River salmon and the Kootenai River white sturgeon. The SOR provided the environmental analysis of the ESA strategy and led to renewal of the Pacific Northwest Coordination Agreement (PNCA) and other agreements related to the Columbia River Treaty (Treaty) between the United States and Canada.
