The Hoopa Valley Tribe emerged victorious from federal court of appeals against PacifiCorp on Friday, with a ruling that may pave the way for the removal of four hydroelectric dams on the Klamath River. It could be the largest river restoration in U.S. history. PacifiCorp was operating under a license from 1956, which was well before the Clean Water Act, the National Environmental Policy Act, fish passage provisions and water flow requirements. While the company was working on the temporary licenses, they made $27 million in profits per year.
Now, the company must invest tens of millions of dollars into dam modernization, or eliminate them entirely.
