Spilling water at dams diverts juvenile salmon and steelhead from power turbines; thus more spill tran slates into higher surviv al rates. While NPPC opted for a 90 percent survival rate at each dam, the tribes, fish agencies, and NPPC staff had wanted a 92 percent rate in low water years and 94 percent in high water years.

"A ninety percent survival rate represents the same protec tion for spring migrants that was already available in the Corps' 1986 operating plan," he emphasized.
