All special operations and studies will be coordinated with the project and appropriate regional agencies. The Corps RCC will issue a teletype to authorize all necessary operational changes and provide guidance to project operators. Schedules: All dates shown for studies and special operations are approximate and could begin earlier or later depending on multiple factors, including river flow, contractor schedules, equipment failures, or other real-time conditions. Some studies may not proceed. Therefore, a final description of studies and outages/operations being conducted will be regionally coordinated prior to April 1 as part of the Corps’ Anadromous Fish Evaluation Program (AFEP) via the Fish Facilities Design Review Workgroup (FFDRWG) and/or the Studies Review Workgroup (SRWG). The Action Agencies will coordinate all significant special operations requests or schedule
