BPA’s Environment, Fish and Wildlife organization oversees this work for BPA. We have four major functions in EFW:

Fish and Wildlife

Environmental Analysis

Fish and Wildlife partners with states, tribal, federal and local governments, non-profit entities and others to implement hundreds of actions to restore habitat, protect land and water, improve passage at the dams and operate state-of-the-art salmon and steelhead hatcheries.

Environmental Services is responsible for National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) analysis. This group analyzes potential effects of our proposed actions on air, water, wetlands, endangered species, the social environment and economies and identifies appropriate mitigation and environmental protections.

Cultural Resources

Pollution Prevention and Abatement

Cultural Resources identifies and evaluates archaeological, historic, and traditional Native American sites potentially affected by our transmission, fish and wildlife, dam and reservoir operations and mitigating the impacts of our actions on these sites.

Pollution Prevention and Abatement provides environmental compliance and pollution prevention oversight for the operation and maintenance of BPA’s transmission system.

Executive Corner
