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. This injunction aims to alter the operation of eight dams on the lower Columbia and Snake rivers, arguing it would improve conditions for salmon and steelhead survival.
The state of Washington and the Nez Perce Tribe support this request, which targets the operation of dams such as the Lower Granite Dam on the Snake River.
