Public Comments - FISH PASSAGE & DAM CHANGES

Official request for public comments with contacts regarding fish passage waivers and dam enhancements from ODFW - the second part of a previous note. Looks like a pair of Baker County and Malheur dams are up for enhancements via added hydroelectic units - Warmsprings Dam/Malheur River near Juntura and the Mason Dam/Powder River. Since the dams are existing - these waivers are using a mitigation process to implement other improvements.....Bull trout and Redbands are affected.

December 9 is the public comment period deadline and January 10 is the meeting.
