Lower Snake River Juvenile Salmon Migration Feasibility Study
Regional Economic Impact Models for the Lower Snake River Juvenile Salmon Migration Feasibility Study
Foreword
This document is the product of the US Army Corps of Engineers' (Corps) efforts to involve the region in the development of the Lower Snake River Juvenile Salmon Migration Feasibility Report/Environmental Impact Statement (FR/EIS). The Corps has reached out to regional stakeholders (states, tribes, Federal agencies, organizations, and individuals) for the input and development of various work products. This and various other products associated with the development of the EIS were authored and developed by these regional stakeholders and contractors. Although the Corps has acquired this document as part of its EIS process, the opinions and/or findings expressed herein do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of the Corps. The Corps will review and incorporate information from these products into our analysis and development of the Draft FR/EIS.
This analysis is only one part of the overall Economic Appendix of the EIS. Other critical components of the economic analysis include power, transportation, water supply, recreation, tribal, fish, and social analysis. For a true economic analysis of the implications of any of the study alternatives, economic costs and benefits of all the components of the analysis must be considered, but without any individual component taken out of context.
