Judge Orders Salmon-Friendly Dam Tweaks
A federal judge in Oregon orders minor adjustments to hydropower dams on the Columbia and Snake rivers to safeguard dwindling salmon populations, rejecting Trump administration proposals. The ruling comes after a long legal battle by Oregon, Washington, tribes, and environmental groups. Salmon, crucial to the Pacific Northwest, face extinction due to dam-related challenges. The judges order maintains reservoir levels and spill amounts, aiming to help fish bypass turbines without significant disruptions to power or navigation. Environmental lawyers welcome the decision, while federal agencies and navigation groups express concerns about safety, costs, and commerce.
