It never ceases to amaze me what some agency's, big businesses,government (etc) can get away with. If anybody else were to cause a different condition in a stream or river (didn't get rock on his driveway in time after grading it before rains or some other scenario) they'd be all over ya like stink on [Bleeeeep!].Seems to me that if this was caused by silt being removed and dumped back in on the down stream side of a dam that it could of just as easily been loaded in a truck and hauled elsewhere. (though I don't know what process they used to move it) It really sucks that the Cowlitz is considered a tool to create power by some and not a river like all of us on this board see it.
