Herald and News 1/17/18

The public and those who have opted to intervene in the removal of four dams along the Klamath River are invited to attend a meeting hosted by Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) at 10 a.m. on Thursday at Klamath Tribal Administration building in Chiloquin, 501 Chiloquin Blvd.

The Chiloquin meeting is one of five meetings planned by FERC this week, the first of which was held Tuesday for the Hoopa Tribe in Hoopa, Calif., with another planned with the Yurok Tribe at 10 a.m. on Friday in Klamath, Calif.

Participation in the meetings, including the gathering planned in Chiloquin, is limited to participation by tribal representatives.

"We'll be just sharing our support for the dam removal process," said Don Gentry, Klamath Tribal chairman.

Former Gov. Ted Kulongoski, an Oregon Democrat, who also serves on the KRRC board of directors, will be in attendance at the meeting, according to KRRC staff.

To register for any or all of the meetings, contact Jennifer Polardino at FERC at 202-502-6437 or jennifer.polardino@ferc.gov.
