$1 billion lawsuit claims Klamath dams produce hazardous waste
by Jeff Barnard
Grants Pass, Oregon (AP) A $1 billion lawsuit filed during December claims that PacifiCorp hydroelectric dams on the Klamath River produce hazardous waste in the form of toxic algae that harms salmon as well as people. The lawsuit was filed in U.S. District Court in San Francisco by Klamath Riverkeeper, elders of the Yurok and Karuk tribes, and the owner of rental cabins along the river. “PacifiCorp is both creating and releasing this algae, and they are refusing to take responsibility for the pollution their dams are creating,” said Regina Chichizola of Klamath Riverkeeper, a nonprofit river conservation group. |
