lawsuit against Reclamation
Herald
and News 4/12/19
Klamath Water
Users Association, which had announced its intent to file
suit last week, did so against Bureau of Reclamation on
Thursday due to limitations to water supply for the Klamath
Project outlined in the 2019 biological opinions.
The
association, in addition to Shasta View, Klamath Drainage
District, Van Brimmer Ditch Company, Ben DuVal and Rob
Unruh, filed in federal district court in Medford.
The Plaintiff’s
claims are based on section eight of the Reclamation Act of
1902 and seek “declaratory and injunctive relief and other
relief not including money damages.”
“This action
involves claims that federal officers or agencies have
acted, are acting, or will act unlawfully in matters related
to the Klamath Project, a federal reclamation project,”
according to the filing. “... Defendants have acted
arbitrarily and capriciously, abused discretion, and acted
in excess of statutory jurisdiction, authority, or
limitation.”
