Document - Columbia River System Operations Comments 2020
Abstract
American Whitewater provides these comments in response to the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (Draft EIS) on Columbia River System Operations. We appreciate that you included removal of four dams on the lower Snake River (Lower Granite, Little Goose, Lower Monumental, Ice Harbor) among the alternatives considered (referred to in the document as MO3). Removing the four lower Snake River dams would open opportunities for a 140-mile, multi-day river trip and will enhance on-river recreation opportunities in key tributaries. We also appreciate that you responded to issues we raised in scoping to consider recreational benefits of a restored Snake River and associated economic impacts as part of the analysis of socio-economic effects. We provide specific comments on these issues, as presented in the Draft EIS, below.Description
