Action Alert: Please help stop the rollback of existing protections for Oregon's imperiled Columbia River salmon and steelhead! Help stop HB 4101!

You can take action on this alert by reading the information below and following the directions at the bottom.

HB 4041 threatens the jobs, food production, and other economic benefits provided by a healthy Columbia River.

Oregon seasonally limits water withdrawals from the Columbia above Bonneville Dam, unless mitigation water is provided, to address recognized dry season flow problems in the river and help recover endangered fish. These seasonal limits and mitigation requirements coincide in time with the Northwest Power and Conservation Council's flow augmentation schedule in the Columbia and Snake Rivers.

HB 4101 marginalizes the economic and cultural value of healthy fisheries to Native American Tribes in the Columbia Basin and undermines the collaborative efforts of a coalition of Umatilla Basin water users to appropriate available winter water from the Columbia River for the Umatilla Basin Aquifer Recovery Project.

Please contact your legislators today urging them to oppose HB 4101, a bill that would undermine key protections for struggling Columbia River salmon and steelhead and threaten more abundant runs which support jobs, economic activity, and food production throughout our region.
