Klamath Basin tribes welcome salmon protections
Thursday, March 30, 2006
Four tribes in northern California and southern Oregon are welcoming a proposal to install salmon protection measures for four hydroelectric dams on the Klamath River.
The Klamath Tribes, the Karuk Tribes, the Hoopa Valley Tribe and the Yurok Tribe have been fighting for removal of the dams. Craig Tucker, of the Karuk Tribe, said the recommendation to install fish ladders and turbine screens on the dams puts them a step closer to removal due to the high cost of installing the equipment.
The recommendation was made by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and National Marine Fisheries Service. They are asking Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to require
the owner of the dams, PacifiCorp, to install the ladders and screens in order to get a new operating license.
