Environmental Management System (EMS) Policy

1. Chief Joseph Dam Project is committed to the protection and conservation of the environment through the use of an Environmental Management System (EMS). All employees are responsible for incorporating the EMS into their planning and work as we carry out the missions of hydroelectric power, river regulation, environmental stewardship, and recreation for the people of thr Pacific Northwest and the Nation.
