‘Fish and chips’
Despite its concerns, the tribe is not leaving the table, Schlosser said. It’s good the draft is finally out for the public to see, he argued. Now comes the time for corrections.
But Chuck Bonham of Trout Unlimited said during the conference call that the agreement’s method of determining flows for fish makes sense. “Think about the logic of the flow part,” he said. “In drier years, when there’s less water, there’ll be less diversion of water. In wet years, there’ll be more diversion.” Another stakeholder noted that the agreement, by tying in with the parallel agreement (still in the works) to remove four dams, will put more water in the river — therefore, there’ll be a bigger pie to divide than exists now.
Craig Tucker said specific restoration targets will be arrived at through the yet-to-be-developed monitoring plan and will incorporate new information emerging from the removal of the four dams. And, he said, “It is our view that the best available science is the science produced on the river” by the tribal biologists. “We don’t need the NRC.”
