Doesn operation above MOP take care of the navigation problem?
A. The NOAA Fisheries’ Biological Opinion calls for the Corps to operate three of the lower Snake River reservoirs at MOP during the juvenile migration season. For the past 2 years, at the request of barge and towboat operators, an operational deviation of MOP+1 was implemented through the regional forum adaptive management process, the Technical Management Team. Although this operational deviation mitigates some impacts to navigation, this deviation from MOP constraint cannot be assumed to continue. Even at this MOP+1 deviation, the transportation industry is experiencing difficulties with navigational depths less than 14 feet. A short-term dredging activity is a crucial component of maintaining the viability of the navigation system in the four lower Snake River reservoirs, as well as of meeting the MOP operation called for in the Biological Opinion.
