Comment Period for Klamath Dams
Draft EIS/EIR Extended
Comment Period Will End
on December 30, 2011
The following statement was
issued today by Dennis Lynch, Program Manager for the
Secretarial Determination on Klamath River dam removal,
regarding the extension of the public comment period for the
Draft Environmental Impact Statement/Environmental Impact
Report (EIS/EIR):
“The decision to remove or
retain four Klamath River dams is of immense importance to
the many Klamath Basin communities. In addition to the peer
reviewed science and the environmental analysis, public
comments on the Draft EIS/EIR is also an important and
critical component in shaping this decision. The Department
of the Interior and the California Department of Fish and
Game listened to the numerous requests to extend the comment
period on this lengthy Draft EIS/EIR and determined that it
is in the best interest of the public to give additional
time to review and comment.
Therefore, we have
extended the comment period through Friday, December 30,
2011.”
