Briefing Paper on Simpson Snake River Dam Proposal
Proposal would exchange breaching dams for suspending bedrock environmental laws We strongly support removal of the lower four Snake River dams to rebuild the wild salmon and steelhead populations they have harmed—for the fish, the orcas, and the people who depend on those fish. However, we do not support suspending the nation’s most important environmental laws for an entire generation across the vast expanse of the Columbia River Basin as part of a deal to breach these four dams.
