County sets date for KBRA public forum
Siskiyou Daily News
March 3, 2010
Yreka, Calif. - Siskiyou County Counsel Thomas
Guarino will be working toward an April 1 date for the county’s
public forum on the Klamath Basin Restoration Agreement (KBRA).
Guarino brought the prospective date to the attention of the board at its Tuesday meeting, stating that representatives from the United States Department of the Interior and PacifiCorp have indicated that April 1 will work for them and that the prospective venue, the Yreka Community Theater, will likely be available that night.
The KBRA is an agreement that sets out a 50-year restoration plan for the Klamath River basin, which stretches from Oregon to California, and is contingent upon the execution and implementation of the Klamath Hydroelectric Settlement Agreement. That agreement lays out the requirements for the Secretary of the Interior to decide whether or not four of PacifiCorp’s dams along the Klamath will be removed.
For stakeholder groups like Siskiyou County, both documents must be signed in order to remain a part of the process as the agreements are implemented. Guarino advised that the forum, which will be a special meeting of the board, will give the supervisors an opportunity to vote to participate further in the agreements, not participate, or simply take no action until further considerations are made.
Guarino stated that as soon as the date and time are finalized, the information will be released to the public.
