The purpose of the Pelton Round Butte Fish Committee

The Fish Committee was established as part of Portland General Electric and the Confederated Tribes of Warm Spring’s FERC License to operate Pelton Round Butte. The 10 member Fish Committee meets bimonthly to oversee the Licensee’s development and implementation of study plans, reports, facility designs and operating and implementation plans. In addition, recently the Fish Committee has developed a Reintroduction Roadmap and Water Quality Graphic to help visualize ongoing efforts for reintroduction and water quality.
