Salmon rally in Portland underscores focus on restoration of the Klamath Basin
PORTLAND, Ore. – PacifiCorp is sympathetic to the interests of the Native American community, commercial fisheries and the agricultural community in the Klamath River Basin area. There are many complex social, political and economic issues that must be addressed in any plan for restoration of the Klamath River Basin.
As a regulated utility, PacifiCorp’s focus and business is to safely and reliably generate and deliver power to its customers at a reasonable price. The company continues to believe that the settlement process is the right place to work on and resolve the complex issues in the Klamath Basin. Thus, PacifiCorp does not oppose settlement opportunities, including dam removal, as long as any settlement safeguards the economic interests of our customers and respects the company’s ownership rights in the project facilities.
PacifiCorp stands ready to work with vested stakeholders to address these issues and help in the restoration of the Klamath River Basin. According to PacifiCorp Energy President Bill Fehrman, “We have heard the tribes’ concerns. We are not opposed to dam removal or other settlement opportunities as long as our customers are not harmed and our property rights are respected.”
