Oregon House backs Klamath dam removal bill
(AP) — T he O regon House
approved a bill last week to im
pose a surcharge on PacifiCorp
customers to pay for removal o f
four hydroelectric dams on the
Klam ath River to help restore
salmon runs.
T he legislation supports a

farmers, fishermen, tribes and
others to settle a lengthy water
struggle in the Klam ath Basin.
U nder the m easure, up to
$200 million would be collected
from customers o f PacifiCorp,

T he Columbia River In

and its four m em ber tribes—

pressed concern last week
over reports that a recent sci

th a t th e in te rb re e d in g o f

can reduce the reproductive
success o f future steelhead
generations.
“D eficient m ethods and
