Nice to see that the Quinault Tribe has finally given its OK to a plan for the Wynoochee mitigation funds. All the other parties to the hydropower license agreed to a plan nearly 10 years ago, with the exception of Quinault. The plan still has to be approved by FERC, but that is a fairly sure thing. The FERC license was issued in 1987, and I think they will be happy to get this thing done after carrying it on the license books for 30 years.

Apparently the proposed production is over and above existing hatchery production, but isn't it interesting that the lion's share of the Wynoochee mitigation will be reared and released from Satsop? Does that even pass the red face or chuckle tests?
