SPOKANE, Wash. — Envi- ronmental and ﬁ shing groups sued the federal government on Thursday as they seek cooler water for salmon in the Colum- bia River system. The lawsuit was ﬁ led in fed- eral court in Seattle against the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and Scott Pruitt, Presi- dent Donald Trump’s choice to lead the agency. “We need a plan to deal with climate change and rising water temperatures in the Columbia, or we may be telling our kids stories about salmon instead of teaching them to ﬁ sh,” said Brett VandenHeuvel, exec- utive director of Columbia Riverkeeper. The lawsuit was ﬁ led by Columbia Riverkeeper, Snake River Waterkeeper, Idaho Riv- ers United, Paciﬁ c Coast Fed- eration of Fishermen’s Asso- ciations, and the Institute for Fisheries Resources. It seeks to compel the EPA to create temperature limits for the river system that would keep rivers cool enough to support salmon and steelhead runs in the face of global warming, the groups said. Giant dams on the Columbia and Snake rivers create large, slow-moving reservoirs that cause water temperatures to rise in summer months. Warm tem- peratures pose signiﬁ cant threats to salmon and steelhead. The groups contend that in 2015, warm water killed roughly 250,000 adult sockeye salmon migrating up the rivers toward spawning grounds. “Water temperatures in the Columbia mean life or death to salmon,” said Glen Spain, a director of the Paciﬁ c Coast Federation of Fishermen’s Associations. “Our members’ livelihoods depend on healthy salmon runs.” “It’s simply unaccept- able to let hot water kill oth- erwise-healthy adult salmon before they can spawn,” Spain said. The impact of Columbia River basin dams on ﬁ sh runs in the Paciﬁ c Northwest has been an issue for decades. A federal judge ruled last May that the U.S. govern- ment hasn’t done enough to improve Northwest salmon runs and ordered an environmental impact statement that’s due out in 2021, urging ofﬁ cials to con- sider removing four big dams on the Snake River. The review process is being conducted under the National Environmental Policy Act, or NEPA, an umbrella law that covers the Endangered Species Act. Thirteen species of salmon and steelhead on the Colum- bia and Snake rivers have been listed as federally protected over the past 25 years. The Snake River dams are Ice Harbor, Lower Monumental, Little Goose and Lower Gran- ite, and are located between the Tri-Cities and Pullman. They’re the four lowest dams on the 1,000-mile-long Snake River, itself a tributary to the Colum- bia River. They were built in the 1960s and 1970s. Advocates for the dams say they provide many bene- ﬁ ts, including electricity, irriga- tion water and barge trafﬁ c, and should not be removed. Oregon joins Washington’s travel ban lawsuit By PARIS ACHEN Capital Bureau SALEM — The Oregon Department of Justice has ﬁ led court papers seeking to join Washington’s lawsuit challeng- ing President Donald Trump’s temporary travel ban on citizens from seven predominantly Mus- lim countries. “The executive order has caused — and threatens to fur- ther cause — harm to Oregon and its residents, employers, agencies, educational institu- tions, health care system and economy. Moreover, the exec- utive order forces Oregon to violate its own laws against discrimination, frustrating Ore- gon’s sovereign interest in pro- viding a welcoming home to people from all over the world,” according to the J ustice D epart- ment’s motion. State ofﬁ cials argued that the travel ban could cause a short- age of physicians and medical residents, drain international tui- tion dollars from universities and strip the state’s technology industry of talent. Out of Ore- gon’s $92 billion investment portfolio, about $19 million comes from technology com- panies, which have expressed alarm about the impact the ban will have on their highly-skilled workers who often come from overseas. “That disruption also affects Oregon as a shareholder,” State Treasurer Tobias Read wrote in a declaration to the court.

PUBLIC MEETINGS TUESDAY Clatsop Care Health District Board, noon, Clatsop Care Re- tirement Village, 947 Olney Ave. Astoria Library Board, 5:30 p.m., Library Flag Room 450 10th St. University’s 3,529 international students are citizens of the coun- tries affected by the travel ban. The ban affects 59 of Portland State University’s more than 1,900 international students. International students contrib- uted about 13 percent of Port- land State’s net tuition and fees for 2015-16. “Their tuition reve- nue will be lost if they are unable to travel to Oregon,” according to the lawsuit. The ban would threaten the state’s ability to attract and retain physicians to practice in rural and underserved areas through the J-1 visa program. Likewise, Oregon Health & Science Uni- versity ofﬁ cials reported the ban affects six of their medical res- idents and the ability to replace them is unlikely.
