BUILDING STRONG ® PORTLAND DISTRICT 4 BiOp requirements  Smolt survival 96% Spring & 93% Summer  Inland Avian Reasonable & Prudent Alternatives 47. Manage avian predators on Corps lands 48. Continue deterrents at dams 68. Monitor avian predators & smolt impacts  Needs Deterrent evaluation Long term monitoring Prioritize avian deterrent spending

BUILDING STRONG ® PORTLAND DISTRICT 25 Concerns from Project Biologist  Region wants current hazing or more ► Unsustainable under O&M budget forecast ► Benefits hazing vs. political reality? JD Consumption: 6k (0.02%) of 31 M smolt in k (0.27%) of 40 M smolt in 2010 (Zorich et al. 2011)  Maintenance cost of extensive line array JD ► $6 M to build, 125 synthetic lines 3,000 ft. long ► Maintenance will increase as lines age and fail
