News in Jefferson Country from Pie N Politics dot com editor Liz Bowen: More variables are cracking the Department of Interior’s Klamath dam removal project, which translates to several more reasons why Pacific Power should not be granted a second surcharge by the California Public Utilities Commission to pay for dam removal.
The terms for dam removal have not been completed because of a — lack of congressional funding, lack of funding from the State of California, lack of full completion of the Environmental Impact Report and Statements, questions of conflict on the interest of Secretary Ken Salazar, alleged lack of scientific integrity in the environmental science; and last but not least is the question concerning the validity of the Klamath Basin Restoration Agreement, because the Stake Holders Group conducted secret meetings.
Greenies, Tribes and government officials may scream another spin, but because of these issues, Klamath dam removal is no longer on the fast track.
