Bigger story to tell about Klamath levees, by
Karl Scronce for Capital Press 11/9/07
A blow for fish,
Group breaches Klamath levees, turns farmland
back into wetlands, Mateusz Perkowski,
posted to KBC 11/4/07 Capital Press. "more
water will be needed to fill the lake, so the
extra storage capacity won't do much good without
strong snow packs and stream flow...Filling the
lake to meet the minimum requirement established
by the 2002 U.S. Fish and Wildlife biological
opinion would also be more difficult..."

Dikes blasted to
restore Oregon marshland for endangered fish,
Oregonian 10/30/07,
FOLLOWED BY:
Levees breached to restore Klamath wetlands
(KBC NOTE: this is the first we, the farm
community at large, has heard that this is
another project with
TNC that will take 20,000 acres out of
farmland. Multiply that by double the
evaporation of ag land and worse water
quality. The Oregonian says Cheney gave
farmers water killing fish..go
here for the facts clearing Cheney.
One farmer on TNC
board has before stated that every time land
is taken out of ag land in the Upper Basin
with the promise of storage, that has never
panned out. In the Oregonian article his
support of this project does not speak for all
of his community, nor does the support of the
other farmer who is mentioned speak for us. |
