	GAO-04-125T, Indian Issues: Spokane Tribe's Additional Compensation Claim for the Grand Coulee Dam
		Bonneville Would Have to Recover Settlement Costs from Ratepayers, but Magnitude of Rate Increase Would Be Small: A settlement requiring Bonneville to pay the Spokane tribe would add to its costs of operation, and it therefore would probably pass these costs to Bonneville's customers in the form of higher rates for power.
		Bonneville is primarily paying the recurring annual payments, and the U.S. Treasury's Judgment Fund provided the one-time lump sum payment in settlement of the past annual payments--$53 million.[Footnote 11] The Spokane tribe, however, had already settled its claim years earlier and therefore could not file an amended claim with the commission.
		Nevertheless, since Bonneville collects the annual revenues for the electricity generated by the dam, it could be argued that Bonneville should make annual payments to the Spokane tribe out of those revenues, as it does for the Colville tribes; the U.S. Treasury would then pay a lump sum to settle any claims for past years.

		A national historic landmark, Bonneville was the first dam on the Columbia River; it was completed under the Roosevelt administration in 1937, and allowed ocean-going vessels to navigate upriver by inundating the treacherous Cascade rapids.
		The Dalles Dam impounds Lake Celilo, a 24-mile-long reservoir.
		When completed in 1971, the dam contained the second-largest powerhouse in the world; with additional generators, the dam has the potential of producing 2.7 million kilowatts of power.

		Because the Bonneville Dam is the first of a series of large dams on these two rivers, it plays an important role in the transactions of products traveling upriver.
		Other dams upriver from the Columbia, such as the John Day Dam, which are designed for flood control, have allowed the people of the Columbia River Basin to live without fear of massive flooding.

	ADDRESS AT BONNEVILLE DAM, OREGON, 9/28/37
		The more we study the water resources of the Nation, the more we accept the fact that their use is a matter of national concern, and that in our plans for their use our line of thinking must include great regions as well as narrower localities.
		That is why in developing electricity from this Bonneville Dam, from the Grand Coulee Dam and from other dams to be built on the Columbia and its tributaries, the policy of the widest use ought to prevail.
		This Bonneville Dam on the Columbia River, forty-two miles east of Portland, with Oregon on the south side of the river and Washington on the north, is one of the major power and navigation projects undertaken since 1933.

		Bonneville Dam (1937) is the lowermost dam on the system, and although it is run-of-river with little storage, it produces enough electricity for the needs of 1 million people.
		As we learned at Bonneville, the technology for guiding adult fish upstream has been relatively successful--fish ladders work well if the fish find them, and the North Powerhouse design incorporates multiple entrance routes to help guide the fish away from tailrace water and towards the fish ladder.
		At Bonneville, ACOE will strive towards this goal primarily through development of better surface collectors that guide fish away from the front of the dam and into the bypass canal.

	Columbia Communities: Camas
		Bonneville Dam was the first of 14 federally funded "big" dams on the Columbia River.
		The dam, which lies thirty miles east of Camas, was built between 1933 and 1937.
		Named for a failed 19th century fur trader and on-leave military man Captain Benjamin Bonneville, the dam was part of the New Deal's Public Works Administration that provided jobs for victims of the 1930s Depression -- emigrants from the Dust Bowl, poverty stricken eastern cities, and out-of-work loggers and agricultural workers.

	Bird Predation and Management Near 14 Columbia Basin Dams
		At the Bonneville Bypass before water cannons and wires were installed to exclude birds, gulls were estimated to take as many as 2% of passing salmonids, though calculations from published figures suggest 0.4% (section 5-C-2).
		Further, the impact of bird predation at one dam is unclear because fish taken at one dam may have died anyway from other sources of downstream compensatory mortality, so reducing bird predation at one dam may not lead to a proportional increase in survival (section 2-G).
		At three lower Columbia dams, overhead wires installed by Wildlife Services appeared to be 100% effective in keeping out flying birds when the wires were maintained and were close enough together; however, it was not possible to install them in all areas where flying birds were feeding (sections 5-D-3 and 5-F-2).

	96 Bonneville Dam Fish Counts Now Above 10-Year Average, Barry Espenson, Columbia Basin Bulletin
		As of Thursday the sport fishery between Bonneville Dam and the Interstate 5 bridge at Portland/Vancouver is closed.
		The season had been open from the dam to the river's mouth but a high catch of upriver salmon, which includes protected wild fish, forced Oregon and Washington officials to close the upriver section to avoid exceeding prescribed impact limits.
		The sport fishing closure between Portland and Bonneville was prompted because, between April 11 and April 18 anglers' impacts on the upriver salmon swelled from an estimated 37.6 percent of their allowable impact to 67 percent.

	Bonneville Dam
		In 1934, two huge projects were started: Grand Coulee Dam in northcentral Washington State and Bonneville Dam, which would span the river between Washington and Oregon at a spot 80 miles upstream from Portland.
		Roosevelt was determined to keep the dam as a public source of power, but private interests opposed government involvement in what they viewed as private industry.
		People in other parts of the country note that Bonneville and the other dams on the Columbia were built with federal money and that if power were sold at "market rates," people across the country would benefit from the additional profits.

		Returning eastbound in 1806, the corps stopped on the island to dine prior to heading to the southern mainland to camp before attempting the portage of the "Grand Rapids." The south end of Bonneville Dam is presently on the island, now named for the Bradford brothers, who operated steamboats on the river.
		The Bonneville Landslide (also known as the Table Mountain Landslide or the Bridge of the Gods Landslide) slid down from the north wall of the Columbia River Gorge sometime between 1400 and 1465 A.D., blocking the Columbia River to a depth of 150-200 feet.
		The last remnant of the dam was bouldery Cascade Rapids, the namesake of the Cascade Range, now drowned in the pool behind Bonneville Dam.
