Federal suit seeks halt to Middle Snake River dam construction
A amended complaint filed in federal court seeks to enjoin the U S Army Corps of Engineers from further dam construction on the Middle Snake River and to require mitigation for past violations. Nineteen plaintiffs including Washington state agencies allege non compliance with the Wildlife Coordination Act and NEPA. The suit cites multiple dams in the river system and calls for preservation of a 2 mile free flowing section spanning Washington Idaho and Oregon. The defendants must respond within 10 days.
