Renewed Legal Battle Over Columbia Basin Dams and Salmon
A long-running court battle has resumed after a two-year pause, focusing on balancing protections for endangered fish with hydropower dams in the Columbia River Basin.
Conservationists, anglers, clean energy groups, and the state of Oregon have requested a federal court to grant a preliminary injunction to change the operation of eight dams on the lower Columbia and Snake rivers.
They argue that these changes would
improve the conditions for salmon and steelhead survival.
- The dams in question include the Lower Granite Dam on the Snake River.
- The state of Washington and the Nez Perce Tribe are supporting the request.
