EPA announced the availability of a final EIS, prepared by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the Bureau of Reclamation, and DOE’s Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) as joint lead agencies, to analyze the potential environmental impacts of the operation (as a coordinated system) and maintenance of 14 federal multiple-purpose dams and related facilities within the Columbia River basin. BPA is responsible for marketing and transmitting the power generated by these dams.
