Salmon vs.
dam ruling
revives idea of
breeching dams
(AP) - A federal court ruling
rejecting the Bush
administration's latest effort to
balance Columbia Basin salmon
recovery against hydroelectric
dams has fish conservationists
pressing anew for breaching
four dams on the lower Snake
River.
"What the law requires is an
honest analysis of how we con
figure the hydro system so we
can get salmon back in our riv
ers," said Jan I lasselman, attor
ney for the National Wildlife
Federation.
"What all the scientists tell us
is such an honest analysis would
call for breaching the lower four
Snake River dams."
But with President Bush and
the Republican-led Congress
dead set against the breaching
the dams, die idea remains a long
way from going anywhere.
"Breaching or removing our
dams is not an option," U.S. Rep.
Cathy McMorris, R-Wash., said
in a statement.
"The river systems through
out the Northwest are a critical
part of our region's economy
and should be used for trans
portation, irrigation and recre
ation." And NOAA Fisheries, the
agency responsible for restoring
threatened and endangered
salmon, is not ready to give up
on its present course of aggres
sively working toward salmon
recover)' short of removing any
dams, said Bob Lohn, northwest
administrator for NOAA Fish-erics.
