Secretary of Interior urges approval for Klamath dams removal

U.S. Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell penned a letter this week to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission urging it to approve a plan to remove four dams from the Klamath River to protect the interests of fish and farmers. “In short, dam removal can re-write a painful chapter in our history, and it can be done in a manner that protects the many interests in the basin,” she wrote in her Monday letter.
