Yep... just another "recovery" effort to feed the insatiable northern intercept fisheries who have no skin in the game of funding such efforts.

The impetus here is that the tribes want fish to harvest above GC. The total cost of each harvestable fish above GC would be tremendous.

Should be a cost of doing business. Why should the tribes and ecosystem starve for cheap power?

I think one of the big questions is where are the fish going to go once above GC? They'll just hit another barrier.... and there isn't much if any viable salmon spawning habitat in Lake Roosevelt itself. Most of the fish would probably just die.

Saw this today. Kind of related.

Godlovesugly,

Fish transported upstream of GC would be introduced into tributaries that have suitable salmon and steelhead habitat. Tributaries to Lake Roosevelt and some in Canada too.

Who would have thought California leading the way!
