Has the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service consulted with FERC on the Klamath Project yet?
Yes, in reviewing the Klamath Project relicensing for FERC, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service carefully evaluated the license application that PacifiCorp submitted to FERC. The Service and the Department of Interior concluded that fishways at each Project facility on the Klamath River are necessary so that anadromous fish can have access to historical habitat that lies upstream of the Iron Gate Dam. Anadromous fish are currently not able to migrate further upstream than the Iron Gate Dam.
