Tacoma doesn't give a damn about recreation, or fish recovery. All they have ever cared about in over 35 years of operation is how much the City of Tacoma can make off the Cowlitz River Project. Years ago, Tacoma also made a recreational flow agreement with WDFW. What a joke that was! Worse yet, the new settlement agreement that Tacoma, TU, WDFW, NMFS, WDOE and American Rivers signed onto is almost a carbon copy of what you are seeing now. Friends of the Cowlitz and CPR-Fish have filed a motion to WDOE to deny Tacoma their 401 Clean water Permit. WE will soon find out if WDOE has the guts to take on Tacoma and deny them their 401 Permit. I will let this board know what the results are as soon as we get an answer back from WDOE.
