During the record drought, heatwave
Columbia temperatures
As a summer like no other
pushes water temperatures to
dangerous levels for salmon
to the Columbia and Snake
Rivers, Washington state an-
nounced it will uphold the
Washington Department of
Ecology’s authority to com-
pel action at dams and reser-
voirs to restrict hot water pol-
lution.
Ecology in May 2020 ex-
ercised its authority under the
Clean Water Act to regulate
temperature in the river ac-
cording to standards set by
the federal Environmental
Protection Agency. Else-
where:
Klamath water crisis
In a big step toward the
removal of four PacifiCorp
dams on the Klamath River,
the Federal Energy Regula-
tory Commission, FERC,
recently approved the trans-
fer of the license for the
Lower Klamath Hydroelec-
tric Project from PacifiCorp
to the Klamath River Re-
newal Corporation, as well as
the states of California and
Oregon, who will be co-licens-
ees.
The approval of the
transfer takes place at a criti-
cal year for imperiled
salmon populations on the
Klamath River, the second
largest producer of salmon
behind the Sacramento
River in California.
Biologists from the
Yurok and K ar uk Tribes
have documented a massive
fish kill of juvenile Chinook
salmon on the Klamath
since early May in this
record drought year.
IHS updates its covid vaccine distrubution
The national office of
the Indian Health Service
updated its coronavirus
data as of early-mid July.
As of that time, the IHS
had distributed 1,759,715
covid vaccine doses across
the eleven areas of Indian
Country.
The Oklahoma City Area
continues to account for the
most vaccines received
(441,410) and administered
(366,102).
The Navajo Area comes
in second (252,305 distrib-
uted, 232,644 administered)
while the California Area
comes in third (221,055 dis-
tributed, 153,713 adminis-
tered).
Tribal health facilities in
Alaska have chosen to re-
ceive their covid vaccine
supplies from the state, so
their region is not included
in the data.
The IHS was distributing
vaccine allocations of the
Pfizer and Moderna vac-
cines. The Johnson &
Johnson/Janssen vaccines
were on backorder.
