(AP) - Groups hoping to see four dams on the lower Snake R iver b reach ed to make way for salmon asked a judge last week to order the government to consider the upper and lower parts of the river together when deciding whether federal dams harm threatened and endangered salmon. W hen NOAA Fisheries, the government’s lead salmon agency, considered in 1999 the combined effects of di verting w ater to irrigation projects in southern Idaho and hydroelectric dams in Eastern Washington and Or egon, it concluded that they jeopardized salmon survival, argued Todd True, attorney for the salmon advocates.

Lawyers for the federal gov ernment, the state of Idaho, the Nez Perce tribe and farm ers countered that the comprehen sive analysis could still be accom plished with separate plans for the upper and lower basin. Changing it could jeopardize a landmark agreement that has committed more Idaho water to fish, they said. The 2004 federal plan for op erating the hydroelectric dams on the lower Snake and Colum bia Rivers, known as a biologi cal opinion, is not directly related to the 2005 analysis of releas ing more water from 12 irriga tion projects connected to the upper Snake in southern Idaho, Eastern Oregon and Wyoming, argued U.S. Justice Department attorney Coby Howell. U.S. D istrict Judge Jam es Redden said he would need a couple o f weeks to w rite his ruling, but it “seems to me more logical” to consider the effects on salmon o f projects in both the upper and lower basins in one plan. Redden expressed doubts over concerns that combining the tw o b iological opinions would trigger an unraveling o f the Snake River Basin adjudi cation, which brought together water users and the Nez Perce tribe in an agreement that more w ater w ould be released fo r salmon. But he gave lawyers repeated chances to explain why that would happen. Am erican Rivers, the lead plaintiff in the lawsuit, feels breaching four dams on the lower Snake in Eastern Wash ington is the cheapest and m ost effective way to help salmon by restoring the res ervoirs to rivers and rem ov ing obstacles to adult fish swimming upstream to spawn and young fish swim m ing downstream to the ocean. “We don’t need more wa ter from Idaho if we take the dams out,” Michael Garrity o f American Rivers said outside the courtroom. “I f we don’t restore a freeflow ing low er Snake River, then we are go ing to need more water.” President Bush has pledged to keep the lo w e r Snake dams.
