Columbia River and Treaty update
A roadside view of the Columbia River, May 3, 2024. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and Bureau of Reclamation will update the public about 2025 flood risk management (FRM) operations related to the Columbia River Treaty (Treaty) during virtual information sessions on December 4 and December 5. Until a modernized Treat enters into force, the United States and Canada will be in an interim period, prompting the need for a new operating plan for FRM.
