Have a question about the Wynoochee Mitigation but it also ties to removal of the Snake Dams.

The pot of money for Wynoochee is, if memory serves, from Tacoma when they installed hydro generation in the dam. I have heard that they are might/will walk away when this FERC permit expires. If so, then are they now absolved of a mitigation requirement and they get their money back since WDFW never (apparently) wanted or needed mitigation there? The dam is the Corps, so mitigation for the dam itself is their gig.

Which brings me to the Snake. If we take the dams out, then the reason for building, funding, and operating the Lyons Ferry Hatchery goes away. Dams, go, shut down the hatcheries or at least the requirement that the Corps funs them as mitigation for the dams.
