But the last license they acquired expired in 2006. Since then, PacifiCorp, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, and the states of Oregon and California each acted to enable PacifiCorp to utilize temporary operating licenses without completing a pre-requisite water certification which would require dam modernization — a process that court documents say is presumably not cost effective, which is part of the reason PacifiCorp “sought to recommission the lower dams.”</p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; vertical-align: baseline;">“(The arrangement) serves to circumvent a congressionally granted authority over the licensing, conditioning, and developing of a hydropower project. …Thus, if allowed, the withdrawal-and-resubmission scheme could be used to indefinitely delay federal licensing,” the court document stated. “The record indicates that PacifiCorp’s water quality certification request has been complete and ready for review for more than a decade… .”</p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; vertical-align: baseline;">Michael Orcutt, who is the Fisheries Director for the Hoopa Valley Tribe, and a Hoopa Tribal member himself, said the victory is a small part of a long fight for what the Klamath river needs.</p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; vertical-align: baseline;">“Today is but one part of the picture … there are still lots of challenges before us,” he said. “The Hoopa Valley Tribe has consistently from the start been an advocate for dam removal, but we haven’t been in the boat of saying that’s the only thing that needs to be done.”</p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; vertical-align: baseline;">Litigation is at times the last way to ensure compliance, he said, something that the tribe has unfortunately had to resort to frequently. The courts, Orcutt said, are just another tool in the toolbox to work towards a healthier Klamath.</p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; vertical-align: baseline;">“We are just frustrated,” he said. “We live on the Klamath-Trinity River, we see health warnings, decimated fish populations … we need to step up to make meaningful changes in turning this fishery around along with other related issues.”</p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; vertical-align: baseline;">Tom Schlosser, an attorney who represented the tribe in the case, said the temporary licenses allowed PacifiCorp to operate under standards from a license granted to PacifiCorp in 1956, before the Clean Water Act, the National Environmental Policy Act, fish passage provisions, water flow requirements and many other important laws were passed.</p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; vertical-align: baseline;">“None of these existed in 1956, but with a new license all of those laws have to be complied with,” he said. “The upshot of today’s decision is that it creates a backstop if (the current dam removal) process fails … if FERC issues a new license to PacifiCorp they’ll have to remove the dams.”</p><div id="ydp4ee7a9f8div-gpt-ad-Cube_Article" class="ydp4ee7a9f8dfp-ad ydp4ee7a9f8dfp-Cube_Article" data-ad-unit="Cube_Article" data-google-query-id="CNnokar9i-ACFRULrQYdPE8Ezg" style="margin: 0px auto 1.5em; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; position: relative; text-align: center;"><div style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0pt none; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; width: 710.375px;"></div></div><p style="margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; vertical-align: baseline;">It’s either that, or PacifiCorp will have to invest tens of millions of dollars into modernizing the dams — which wouldn’t get reimbursed, he said.</p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; vertical-align: baseline;">Bob Gravely, a spokesperson for PacifiCorp, said the company is “still reviewing the decision to understand the implications fully.”</p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; vertical-align: baseline;">“We are still operating under the (current) settlement agreement,” he said, referring to the amended Klamath Hydroelectric Settlement Agreement which created the Klamath River Restoration Corporation that plans to take on dam removal efforts.</p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; vertical-align: baseline;">“Following through with the full water certification process when the dams were supposed to be removed did not make sense,” he said.</p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; vertical-align: baseline;">Initial conversations surrounding dam removal began in the early 2000s Gravely said, before the 50-year license granted to PacifiCorp in 1956 expired. The company never planned on re-licensing, he said.</p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; vertical-align: baseline;">Although the decision doesn’t necessarily impact the removal efforts pursued by KRRC, it may expedite the process, according to a press release from the Hoopa Valley Tribe.</p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; vertical-align: baseline;">But while those efforts have taken place, during the 13-year period PacifiCorp operated on interim licenses, they made about $27 million a year, Schlosser said.</p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; vertical-align: baseline;">“Why the states went along with it is just beyond me,” he said. “If they would’ve listened to the Hoopa Valley Tribe we would’ve figured this out 15 years ago … they should’ve listened when they said (the initial KHSA) is a steal for PacifiCorp!”</p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; vertical-align: baseline;">Schlosser’s sentiment was echoed by Hoopa Tribal Chairman Ryan Jackson.</p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; vertical-align: baseline;">“This case shows that states must not ignore the rights and interests of tribes with co-management authority regarding fisheries,” he said.</p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: italic; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; vertical-align: baseline;">Philip Santos can be reached at 707-441-0506.</span></p></div></div></div></div></span></div></div></body></html>
