Thank you! Chairman, continued from page 2 aimed at saving the Snake River dams in Washington state. The bill – introduced by Reps. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA), Dan Newhouse (R-WA), Kurt Schrader (D-OR) and Greg Walden (R-OR) – would keep in place the Federal Columbia River Biological Opinion, or BiOp, until 2022. But a federal court judge, Michael Simon (who is Rep. Suzanne Bonamici’s husband) has ruled that the BiOp doesn’t do enough to rebuild endangered salmon and steelhead populations. Judge Simon ordered a new environmental review, which is required to include a look at breaching the four Snake River dams. A 2018 deadline is set for an immediate plan for operating the dams and in 2021 a new BiOp must be completed. 4 • Siletz News • McMorris Rodgers’ bill would effec- tively overturn an April decision by Simon that would require the Army Corps of Engineers to spill more water for fish at eight Columbia and Snake river dams start- ing next year. The bill also prohibits 1) any “structural modification” of any federal dam on the Columbia or Snake rivers; or 2) any studies or plans that restrict electrical gen- eration at the dams without express autho- rization from Congress. Further research is needed to determine if this has any impact on Columbia River Treaty negotiations. The bill was referred to both the House Energy & Commerce Committee (chaired by Walden) and the Transporta- tion & Infrastructure Committee (where DeFazio is the Ranking Member).
