Interior Secretary pens letter supporting Klamath Dam removal
Interior Secretary Deb Haaland released a letter Friday to the Federal Energy Regulatory Committee in support of Klamath dam removal. … The four hydroelectric dams clogging the Klamath River are slated to be removed in 2023 under an agreement forged between the states of California and Oregon, the dams’ owner PacifiCorp and the Karuk and Yurok tribes. And Haaland’s letter comes as conditions in the Klamath River Basin are the worst they’ve been in years due to drought conditions.
