CalTrout had a Q&A session on the dam removal project a few days ago.
here's the link to the Q&A recording I was emailed. hopefully it works.
Another step closer!!! The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) yesterday approved the transfer of the Lower Klamath Project License from PacifiCorp to the Klamath River Renewal Corporation (KRRC) and the States of Oregon and California.

The approval process is painfully slow. Government operations can be frustrating at times. Let’s break ground before something goes wrong and derails it.
I've heard the spiel from Kurtis Knight down here at a local Orvis store a couple years back.
and probably a couple years before that.
i think i got excited about this back in 2010.
And when they were finally removed in 2015... Oh wait, never happened.
Call me Buzz Kill, but this has been a next year thing, for over a decade.
It seems every year a step closer, but then they have to get another approval, another agreement, another signature, create another committee, almost as if no one really knows all of what has to happen.
these dams will still be standing in 2025, Jeeez just go in and set some charges and let it rip for God's sake.
Steelhead gear = $6287, no of adults caught = 3, amortized cost = $2,095.67, beaching that 30" fish and letting it go = priceless
They are starting to award contracts for dam demolition and river restoration so I do think the dam removal will proceed sooner rather than later.
How's this going?
are they still there?
I'll check back next year

FERC issued the final EIS today for removing the lower four mainstem Klamath dams, and is recommending that the FERC license be surrendered and the project decommissioned!

“There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.”
― Issac Asimov
