• Description:
  We began a study in 2004 to evaluate the effects of three prototype vertical barrier screens (VBSs) on the condition ofjuvenile salmonids Oncorhynchus spp. at McNary Dam. The VBSs were designed to work at turbine loads outside the current guidelines, which specify operation within the 1% maximum turbine efficiency range, or a loading of approximately 60 MW. Planned improvements to McNary Dam will result in operations at a discharge loading of 80 MW or higher.
