THERE'S A NEW POST AT KLAMBLOG!

[Felice Pace]

The new post is titled:

Tales from two meetings

It reports testimony offered at the recent Klamath, California hearing
on the Facilities Removal Draft EIS/EIR and at a teach-in on the
environmental document sponsored by the North Group Redwood Chapter
Sierra Club, the NEC, EPIC and Redwood Regional Audubon.

Here's a taste of what was said at the Klamath meeting:


Merk Oliver, member, Yurok Tribe

· The dams are no good for anyone; they are poisoning the fish
and the people.


Robert Jackson, Yurok

· We need to focus on having water for the fish; we need water
too.

· It is disgusting how they waste water up there (in the Upper
Klamath River Basin).

· We need to manage the nutrients (coming from agriculture)

· In no way should we relinquish any of our water rights.

And here's an excerpt from the teach-in report:

Once it was clear that the relicensed dams would lose money
annually, their fate was sealed. Dam owner PacifiCorp has since that
time negotiated to get the best deal for shareholders. The KHSA or Dam
Deal represents their complete success. If the Dam Deal is endorsed by
Congress, PacifiCorp shareholders will be able to walk away from the
Klamath Hydroelectric Project which they own and will be absolved from
all liability not just for dam removal but also for all toxic legacies
which may be lurking around the company’s 100 year old powerhouses.


Also in the post are links to media coverage of the EIS/EIR Hearings.
