California Committee Presses For Benefits on Klamath River the California Oregon Power company's operations on the Klamath," Collier said. "It is only fair the company should pay the cost of replacing these hatchery facilities." After the Yreka hearing, in formation was brought to the attention of the committee in dicating that water tempera tures of the Klamath are a much more important factor in Klamath river fish propa gation than the hearing testi mony indicated, Collier said. The committee has there fore asked for a detailed anal ysis of water temperatures of the river before and after power development began to determine if some modifica tion is needed to present in stallations. The committee rcconmmed cd that the department of fish and game make a detailed analysis of the possible mod ifications to Pacific Power and Light company Installa tions to provide the best con tinual flow of cool water. Sacramento- The California tions on the Klamath to ob ations of water flow during 1962 were almost entirely eliminated, except for certain periods beyond the control of the power company. However, Collier pointed out, the dam was constructed to provide flow regulation, and there is no positive state ment for full regulation in the license. The committee, Collier ex plained, would like an amend ment to the license setting a maximum of 1.750 cubic feet per second, which would be greater than normal releases of the company dam. He said the committee will press for such an amend ment if future flow manage ment does not adhere to that expected or desired by the stale wildlife agencies. "The Klamath river fish eries are a major factor in northern California econo my," Collier said. "The fish- i cry reproduction is far less ! than should be expected in this system which includes i many hundreds of miles of that the company pay the cost of operation and maintenance of the fish hatchery. The Cali fornia attorney general has appeared before the FPC seek ing such an arrangement. Col lier said, and may file for a court hearing on the subject. The committee believes Pa cific Power and Light should, in fairness, pay 81 per cent of the operation and mainten ance cost, recognizing that portion of the new hatchery which will absorb the produc tion of the state operated Fall Creek hatchery now inun dated by Iron Gale reservoir. To Abate Nuisance "The dam was constructed to abate a nuisance created by Senate Natural Resources In terim committee, while satis lied with many of the results of the construction of Iron Gate dam on the Klamath river, is continuing to press lor three specific benefits ac cording to Sen. Randolph Col lier. They are an FPC decision which would require Pacific Power and Light company to defray 81 per cent of the cost of operating and maintaining the Iron Gate fish hatchery; detailed studies by the depart ment of fish and game of wa ter temperatures below the dam and an analysis of possi ble modifications of installa tain the best continual flow of cool water for spawning, and revision of the FPC Federal Power company license to Pa this waterway which is second only in California to the Sacramento-San Joaquin system. We dare not settle for less than optimum fish produc tion from the river.'' Inundate Spawning Beds The Iron Gate dam has in undated 16 miles of former spawning beds and the old Fall Creek fish hatchery site, according to Collier. The power company has made provision for fish trap ping and egg collection facil ities at the damsitc, but has objected to state proposals cific Power and Light impos ing a maximum release from the dam. The committee at Collier's request held a hearing in Yrcka last Aug. 31, and con sidered allegations of sports men and others that the Iron Gate dam, then under con struction, would not provide the full regulation of the Klamath river which had been sought. The final report of the In terim committee, recently re leased, found that the fluctu SECTION E TAGES 1 to 8 MEDFORDt&JTRIBUNE MEDKORD. OREGON. THURSDAY.
