Dear Supporters, Public interest is looming as NEPA (National Environmental Policy Act) hearings are held throughout the Northwest region. The hearings are an important opportunity to speak in favor of using the 2002 lower Snake River EIS to breach the dams immediately. This is the EIS that currently covers the dams' operations, and it already contains a breach option that is good to go. This EIS took 7 years to complete at a cost of $33 million. We should not re-do it. Southern Resident orca and wild Snake River salmon cannot wait! Who is benefiting here...take action today! Provide a comment in support of using the 2002 EIS to breach the dams now! http://www.crso.info/contact.html#comments Scoping meeting info: http://www.crso.info Only public pressure on elected officials and federal agencies can get this done. For a brief read on the current lower Snake River EIS, see 2002 FR/EIS, Executive Summary, especially page 25, http://www.nww.usace.army.mil/portals/28/docs/environmental/lsrstudy/ExecutiveSummary.pdf Keep dialing those phones, we must keep pressure on our representatives: https://srkwcsi.org/take-action/letters-to-politicians/ An Obituary: Polaris (J28): Howard Garrett of the Orca Network: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UXBXIh5fxhE THANK YOU FOR YOUR EFFORTS!
