    A historical look at the salmon runs using real numbers
    A historical look at the salmon runs using real numbers
    October 11, 2018
    In the “dams or no dams” debate, facts and figures often quoted may be presented out of context. A recent op-ed in the Tri-City Herald, August 23, 2018 (Activist Groups Say Give us our Dammed Snake River Back) stated that “as many as 16 million (salmon) once returned to these rivers (Columbia and Snake) each year”.  The reader was given no context and left to assume that it must be the dams that are solely responsible for the salmons’ decline.

    Benton PUD and Franklin PUD Commissions pass resolution supporting federal legislation to protect the Snake River dams
    July 25, 2017

    Benton PUD and Franklin PUD Commissions passed resolutions in support of federal legislation that affirms the current operations under the existing Federal Columbia River Power System (FCRPS) Biological Opinion (BiOp). Other utilities also passed resolutions including Benton REA, Mason PUD 1 and Mason PUD 3 (Shelton, WA).

    The legislation, H.R. 3144, proposed on a bipartisan basis by Representatives Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA), Dan Newhouse (R-WA), Jaime Herrera Beutler (R-WA), Kurt Schrader (D-OR) and Greg Walden (R-OR), supports the hydrosystem and the benefits it brings to the region through clean, renewable and affordable power.
