Pursuant to Section 8113 of the Water Resources Development Act, the study involves an assessment of Indian village housing sites and related structures displaced or destroyed by the construction of the Bonneville, The Dalles, John Day, and McNary Dams.

The study area encompasses the reservoirs between Bonneville Dam and the McNary Dam, spanning multiple counties in Washington and Oregon.
