Governor signs Judge: Oregon emergency
‘net neutrality,’ horse roundup violated law
cleaner air bills Feds approved
By PARIS ACHEN
Capital Bureau
PORTLAND — Gov.
Kate Brown has signed into
law bills requiring public
bodies to contract only
with internet providers that
practice “net neutrality”
and another that assesses
a fee on industry to fund
a program designed to
reveal health risks posed
by emissions from specific
factories.
House Bill 4155, the
internet bill, passed both
legislative chambers with
bipartisan support earlier
this year. The law is meant
to discourage broadband
companies from blocking,
slowing down or charging
more for certain content.
“I’m so pleased and
very proud that Oregon
passed this legislation due
in part to the voices of
young people who made
their voices heard,” Brown
said, before the signing the
bill at Mount Tabor Middle
School in Portland Monday.
House Majority Leader
Rep. Jennifer Williamson,
D-Portland, the regulations
to incentivize internet
providers to keep the
internet open to both
governmental agencies and
state residents.
The Federal Commu-
nications
Commission
repealed a federal rule on
universal net neutrality Dec.
14. The move prompted
about 20 states, including
Oregon, to the federal
government to restore the
protections and for dozens
of states to consider laws to
counteract the decision.
Washington on March 6
became the first state in the
nation to enact statewide
net neutrality regulations
that make it illegal for
broadband providers to
block or slow down certain
content, according to The
Washington Post.
The two new laws could
mark the beginning of
patchwork internet regula-
tions around the nation, the
paper reported.
———
Brown proposed Cleaner
Air Oregon in Senate Bill
1541 as a response to the
discovery of toxic metals in
Portland’s air in 2016.
“Now communities will
know what they’re being
exposed to and what risks
are posed,” said Rep. Karin
Power,
D-Milwaukie,
during a speech asking
lawmakers to pass the bill
March 3.
The initial legislation
would have strengthened
state regulators’ authority to
require industry to reduce
air pollution. But in the
interest of getting enough
votes to enact the new fee
and to give industry more
predictable expectations on
allowable emissions, the
bill’s proponents said they
had to agree to limit the
state’s authority to respond
to pollution.

removal of
150 horses
after 2016 fire
By MATEUSZ PERKOWSKI
EO Media Group
A federal judge has ruled
the U.S. Bureau of Land
Management violated envi-
ronmental law by rounding
up wild horses in Eastern
Oregon after a 2016 fire.
Friends of Animals, a
nonprofit group that filed a
lawsuit against the BLM, has
sought to overturn the agen-
cy’s approval of the roundup,
which could lead to some
horses being returned to the
Three Fingers Management
Area in Malheur County.
The
BLM
initially
conducted an environmental
assessment on gathering and
removing wild horses from
the 62,500-acre area in 2011,
but then decided on a small-
er-scale roundup in 2016.
Shortly before the oper-
ation was set to begin in
August 2016, however, the
Cherry Road wildfire ignited
in the area, burning about
15,000 acres of pasture
— roughly half the range
used by wild horses in the
management area.
While
the
planned
roundup was canceled due
to the fire, the BLM soon
decided to conduct an “emer-
gency gather” due to the lost
forage and limited water
sources for the animals.
Courtesy Bureau of Land Management
The emergency roundup of 150 wild horses in Oregon
after a 2016 fire violated environmental law, a judge
has ruled.
Under the emergency
gather, the BLM approved
removing 150 horses — up
from about 50 before the fire
occurred — leaving about
80 to 120 in the area.
Friends of Animals
alleged the emergency action
“went far beyond what was
necessary to control the
immediate impacts” of the
fire without a proper review
under the National Environ-
mental Policy Act, or NEPA.
Instead of permanently
removing the horses, the
BLM could have examined
“relocation,
temporary
removal,
fencing
and
providing
supplemental
water” to mitigate the fire’s

immediate effects, the group
argued.
U.S.
District
Judge
Michael Simon has found
that the BLM’s emergency
gather went further than
necessary to counter the
fire’s immediate impacts,
requiring additional analysis
under NEPA.
“Its stated rationale
for conducting the gather
was not just to control the
immediate effects of the

fire, but to ensure survival
of the horses over the next
two seasons, and aid in the
habitat’s recovery,” he said.
The BLM claimed the
emergency action met that
requirement because it was
based on reviews conducted
for the previous roundup
decisions and other plans for
the region.
However, the judge
disagreed that the BLM took
the necessary “hard look”
at the emergency gather’s
environmental
conse-
quences, since the agency
didn’t analyze the effects of
the fire itself or why it was
necessary to remove more
horses.
“The Emergency Gather
Decision does not discuss
whether there are any new
circumstances, information,
or effects not previously
analyzed since the earlier
NEPA documents,” he said.
While the approval was
“arbitrary and capricious”
contrary to the law, the
judge said he will separately
deliberate on the appropriate
remedy for this violation.
Lucinda Bach, attorney
for the government in this
case, said she couldn’t
comment on the ruling.
Capital Press was unable
to reach an attorney from
Friends of Animals for
comment.
