The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation has wrapped up its environmental review of a plan to help the humpback chub and other protected fish in northern Arizona, allowing the agency to release cold water from the Glen Canyon Dam to combat a warm water-loving invasive bass species that threatens the native population, it said Wednesday.

The Bureau of Reclamation said completing the environmental process allows it to use cooler water from Lake Powell to disrupt the spawning of the non-native smallmouth bass and keep it from getting established below the dam in the Grand Canyon, where it preys on federally protected native fish like the humpback chub.
