The dams provide hydroelectric power which is a clean "green" source of energy for 70,000 homes. They also provide reliable flood control and irrigation for farmers and ranchers who supply the nation's food. Destroying the dams would flood the sacred burial grounds of the Shasta Indians. It would also release toxic sediments into the river's ecosystem -- the toxins in the sediment occur naturally because the area of the river's headwaters is volcanic. The dams help filter out those extra minerals. Supporters of removing the dams say it is necessary to protect the coho salmon. However, the coho is not native to the Klamath River. Further, the spawning ground of the coho is typically 30 miles upstream, whereas the first dam isn't until 187 miles upstream. Taken overall, the project to remove the dams seems very foolish. I urge you to consider all of the implications of this project before rushing ahead to do something that will be regretted in the future.

Boyle dams). These dams are decimating what used to be the west coast's third most productive steelhead and salmon fisheries, and strangling the area's economy. Alternative 2 will help restore salmon runs (dramatically increasing steelhead populations), and ensure predictable water deliveries to irrigators The dams don't make economic sense: if upgraded to modern standards they'll actually operate at a $20 million annual loss• Even the owner (PacifiCorp) wants these privately owned dams taken out I support healthy fisheries and a healthy local economy (dam removal brings many jobs to the area) -- and I support Alternative 2.

Other reasons: – An estimated 22 million cubic yards of toxic sediment will sludge its way down the Klamath River destroying salmon runs, mucking up the environment affecting water clarity and purity! This amount of sediment will sterilize the river for 100 years. – Real science now proves original statements are fraudulent Diane Amble Vol. III, AA-319 - December 2012 Klamath Facilities Removal Final EIS/EIR GP_LT_1221_1225 Duplicate of GP_LT_1221_1181 Vol. III, AA-320 - December 2012 Appendix AA Duplicate Comments on the Draft EIS/EIR GP_WI_1222_1158 Duplicate of GP_WI_1110_480 ------------------------------------------- From: [email protected][SMTP:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, December 22, 2011 12:02:13 PM To: BOR-SHA-KFO-Klamathsd; [email protected] Subject: Web Inquiry: Damn the Dams Auto forwarded by a Rule Name: Robin Anderson Organization: Subject: Damn the Dams Body: I support the immediate removal of all dams on the Klamath River and its tributaries.

The system of four dams filters out the minerals and allows the water to cool and rid the waters of the pollution. How will the release of toxic sediment into the river ecosystem, caused by the breaching of the dams, be mitigated? How will the green, affordable energy currently provided by the four hydroelectric dams be replaced? Why would our government hurt the people of this already conomically decimated area where ranchers and farmers already are barely making a living off their land? What is proposed by the Department of the Interior will be the final blow to these citizens! In the interest of all Californians and southern Oregonians, we strongly urge you NOT TO REMOVE THE DAMS! Respectfully, Mr and Mrs Robert Archibald -- Vol. III, AA-322 - December 2012
