Breaking News 


November 13, 2008 -  Federal and state agencies have negotiated an agreement
in principal with PacifiCorp that could eventually lead to the removal of
four hydroelectric dams and the restoration of the Klamath River's once
bountiful runs of salmon and steelhead. The actual agreement did not become
available to all Klamath settlement stakeholders until the afternoon of
November 12 when members of the Klamath Settlement Group received a briefing
from state and federal officials and PacifiCorp. The agreement has not been
approved by numerous other stakeholders, including Friends of the River, who
have been involved in the federal relicensing of the Klamath River hydro
dams for several years. It remains purely a product produced and endorsed by
a sub-set of parties.

Although Friends of the River believes that a concession in writing from
PacifiCorp to remove the dams is a step in the right direction, we have
significant concerns about the workability of the agreement in principal.
Foremost, the agreement in principal has so many prerequisites that MUST
occur before dam removal can happen  that it would likely never result in
the removal of any dams.  To

Friends of the River will continue to be involved in this complicated and
controversial process to achieve its goal of restoring the Klamath River.
