She said this ruling is a victory, but the real test comes after the plans are in place. “It still leaves it in the lap of Oregon agencies and elected offi cials as to whether they’re going to use these plans to address Oregon’s largest sources of water temperature in our streams and rivers and that is the logging, farming and taking water out of the streams,” she said. Federal law requires Oregon to have plans in place to ensure that the state’s rivers don’t get too warm. These plans are referred to as total max- imum daily loads under the federal Clean Water Act. Oregon’s current standards for temperature are permissive enough to kill salmon and steelhead, which rely on cold water to survive.
