NHI represents conservation
groups and public agencies in relicensing
proceedings throughout the Pacific Northwest and
Intermountain states. Our general objective is
that each new license will enhance anadromous and
riverine fisheries, riparian habitat, and
recreation.
We represent The Nature
Conservancy-Washington State Chapter in the
relicensing proceeding for Puget Sound Energy’s
Baker Project. The resulting settlement (2006)
requires flows and physical measures (including
gravel placement) for enhancement of anadromous
fisheries.
NHI represents American
Rivers and California Trout in an ongoing effort
to decommission PacifiCorp’s Klamath River
Project, so as to restore free passage from the
Pacific Ocean more than 250 miles upstream to
Upper Klamath Lake. We also negotiate with
federal and state agencies, tribes, irrigation
districts, and affected counties to develop a
regional agreement on water allocation for
fisheries, power generation, and irrigation
supply, in this basin
which is roughly the size of New England. If
successful, these efforts will restore what was
once the third largest anadromous fishery on the
entire West Coast, as well as the economic and
cultural welfare of communities throughout this
basin.
