Report: Klamath dam removal will help fish, farms (AP) — A draft report by the U.S. Interior D epartm ent says rem oving four hydroelectric dams in the Klamath Basin will restore salmon and sustain irri gation for farmers in Southern Oregon and N orthern Califor nia. The findings support a bill introduced by Oregon Democrat Sen. Je ff Merkley and Califor nia D em ocrat Rep. Mike T h om pson that would authorize the Interior Departm ent to de cide whether to remove the Kla math River dams. The report repeats findings from September, and says dam removal will create fishing jobs, reduce disease among salmon and im prove w ater quality in some areas. The report pins the cost o f dam removal at $291 million in 2020 dollars. Pulling down the dams would increase the stretch o f the 100- year floodplain, but the report says only six residences would be affected. (AP) — A hum an jaw bone found lying in shallow water o f the Columbia River in October is Native American, according to the Army C orps o f E ngi neers. It hired an independent physi cal anthropologist to make the d e te rm in a tio n , said B ru ce Henrickson, Corps spokesman. T h e low er jaw bone w ith six teeth is believed to date to about 150 to 200 years ago. “We’re treating the remains with the respect they deserve,” he said. “These are remains o f somebody’s ancestors, and we ask ev ery o n e to rem em b er that.” It was found in the same gen eral area o f the Columbia River as the bones o f the Kennewick M an sk eleto n fo u n d in July 1996. Scientists concluded that the 9,300-year-old skeleton was buried there. H ow ever, no o th er bones were found with the more re cently discovered jawbone. It was lying in shallow w ater a couple o f feet o ff a small, rocky shore a quarter-m ile east o f The Corps has con sulted with several Plateau Tribes that appear to be culturally affiliated with the remains... Edison Street in Columbia Park in Kennewick. I t may have been w ashed down the river by the high wa ters in 2011 and then showed up as water receded from the shoreline, said Benton County Coroner John Hansens the day it was found. Because the bone appeared to be historic rather than con n e c te d to a p o ssib le crim e, Hansens turned it over to the C orps, w hich ow ns the land where the bone was found. The Corps has consulted with several Plateau Tribes that ap pear to be culturally affiliated with the remains and next will publish a legal notification giv ing 30 days for any other legal claimant to the bones to come forw ard, as re q u ired by the Native American Graves P ro tection and Repatriation Act. A similar process was fol lowed when another human jaw bone and two teeth were found by boaters in August 2009, on the Columbia River shore north o f Richland. That jawbone was determined to be Native Ameri can and appeared to be about 300 to 350 years old based on the am ount o f mineralization on the teeth, among other charac teristics. The bone was transferred in June 2010 under a joint claim to a group comprised mostly o f the members o f the Columbia Plateau Inter-Tribal Repatria tion Group. They included the Nez Perce Tribe, the Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation, the Confederated Tribes and Bands o f the Yakama Nation, the Con federated Tribes o f the Umatilla Indian Reservation and the Con federated Tribes o f the Warm Springs Reservation. The joint claim also was supported by the Wanapum Band. A Ranch bought to provide Columbia fish habitat (AP) — A ranch along the lower Columbia River that was diked decades ago for raising cattle has been purchased to provide w etlands fo r endan gered juvenile salmon and steel head on their way downriver to the ocean.

The parties said in a state ment the purchase is the largest acquisition o f riverside habitat in the estuary in nearly 40 years and is aimed at mitigating the im pact on fish stocks o f fed eral dams in the Columbia Ba sin.
