Governor
ready to join
salmon suit
(AP) - Cov. Ted Kulongoski
warned the Bush administration
last week that Oregon will join
environmentalists suing over the
government's plans for making
Columbia River dams less lethal
to salmon unless there is a
greater commitment to restor
ing healthy runs.
Following up on his State of
the State address this week, the
governor directed Attorney
General Hardy Meyers to send
letters to the secretaries of
Commerce, Interior and Energy
giving the 60-day notice of in
tent to sue required before fil
ing a lawsuit against the federal
government.
Under the Endangered Spe
cies Act, NOAA Fisheries must
assure that the federal dams in
the Columbia Basin do not jeop
ardize the survival of threat
ened and endangered runs of
salmon and steelhead that swim
over them.
A federal judge found the
2000 biological opinion failed to
assure almon would be pro
tected and a new one was pro
duced last year.
Kulongoski maintains that
the 2004 biological opinion ap
plies a new standard, stating that
rather than assuring protected
salmon will not be driven to ex
tinction, the government must
only assure that the dams will
not further accelerate the trend
to extinction. "The best interests
of Oregon and the region will
be served by recovering wild
almon and steelhead in the
Columbia Basin as quickly as
possible," Kulongoski said. "I
believe that we can create a plan
to do that without the need to
remove dams.."
