(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.

“It is a single, coordinated set
of operations,” True said.
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.
