Eddie - This issue hits very, very close to home for me. Unfortunately, I'm prohibited by Federal law from commenting on pending legislation. Therefore, I won't. But anyone interested in protecting salmon and steelhead in the Pacific Northwest had better take a good look at this legislation. The hydro industry has been making attempts at "improving" the licensing process for a couple years but their chances got better since the last election. This legislation rewrites some of the most important fish and wildlife provisions of the Federal Power Act. I will leave it to others to judge what affect it will have on salmon and steelhead.
