FERC Letter - September 2024

This is a follow-up to the letter submitted on behalf of the County to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) on April 18, 2024. In that letter the County outlined several significant impacts and issues the local community and Siskiyou County were experiencing because of reservoir drawdown and dam removal, which at the time included: the Klamath Mitigation Fund, Communication and Public Engagement, Public Safety, Large-Scale Fencing, Lakeview Bridge, and Outdated Plans.

Since the submittal of the April letter to FERC, KRRC has made little to no progress toward addressing the identified issues. KRRC continues to exhibit poor to nonexistent public communication despite on-going Project impacts affecting the environmental justice (EJ) communities surrounding the reservoir footprints.
