Gillraker,
At the present time it is only an Oregon problem but, as I said, it is already being quoted as a legal precedent to enable various interest groups (Columbia/Snake River Irrigator's Association, Kitsap County Property Owners Alliance, Skagit County Cattlemen's Association) to petition for removal of Columbia/Snake River chinook, steelhead and sockeye, Puget Sound chinook and Hood Canal summer chum from the Endangered Species List.
