Help Remove the Rogue River's Gold Ray Dam, One of Oregon's Top Five Salmon Stoppers
Document Actions
Your letters are needed now to help the Rogue River's imperiled salmon populations.
The Gold
Ray dam is an obsolete, 105 years-old structure that was taken out of
electricity production decades ago and is now a major liability for its
owner, Jackson County. Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife
identified Gold Ray dam as the fifth biggest problem for fish passage
in the state of Oregon.
The federal
stimulus funding that was received by the county to remove the dam is a
wonderful chance for Jackson County to address this looming liability
and take major action to assist in the recovery of Rogue River salmon. Click here to read a recent Mail Tribune article 'Gold Ray Dam Removal Backed'.
This is an historic opportunity. An Environmental Assessment was
released last week and Jackson County is accepting public comments
until March 26. Please click here
to let Jackson County know that you support quick action to help the
Rogue River and its salmon by removing Gold Ray dam. And ask your
friends and family to do the same.
