Lower Snake River Recreation Study
In the 2024 state budget, RCO was directed to assess the impact to recreation if the Lower Snake River dams were breached. RCO is working on the study with the US Army Corps of Engineers, examining current uses and potential future uses. The study is currently under review by the Army Corps for compliance with the Presidential Memoranda of June 12, 2025. For questions or more information about the study please contact Ben Donatelle, RCO Policy Specialist.
