Cowfish, after reading the Settlement Agreement's 'Biological Assessment' (see Cowfish's "Tacoma .. Biological Assessment .. finally released" thread), paid for by Tacoma City Light, in the FERC p-2016 documents I find it difficult to understand why all those entities belonging to the FTC have signed it! That BA confirmed the adverse affects to salmon and steelhead that will occur from the Cowlitz River Hydroelectric Project after relicensing Tacoma. Whazzup with these signees? It seemingly must be a case of the lesser of several inevitable fish adverse scenarios. Particularly for the short run. If they can meet the long term improvements promised that would be one thing, but what are the chances for that to become a reality with so much money on the line? Likely not good.
