Document - Columbia River System Operations Comments 2017
Abstract
American Whitewater provides these scoping comments in response to the Notice of Intent (NOI) to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) on Columbia River System Operations. Among the alternatives considered, we request that you include an analysis and evaluation of removal of four dams on the lower Snake River (Lower Granite, Little Goose, Lower Monumental, Ice Harbor). Removing the four lower Snake River dams will open opportunities for a 140-mile, multi-day river trip and will enhance on-river recreation opportunities in key tributaries. We specifically request that you include an analysis of the recreational benefits of a restored Snake River and associated economic impacts as part of the analysis of socio-economic effects.Description
