Suggested Talking Points
- The Draft Environmental Impact Statement must include breaching the four lower Snake River dams as an alternative.
- The Draft Environmental Impact Statement must include an accurate cost-benefit analysis of dam breaching.
- Include a personal story, share a memory and tell the agencies why you think it is time to restore a free-flowing lower Snake River.
After public scoping ends, the agencies will develop alternatives and draft an environmental impact statement, which is expected in late 2019 to early 2020. Learn more at www.crso.info
Thank you! for being part of this once-in-a-generation opportunity to restore the lower Snake River, and make a difference for Idaho’s endangered wild salmon.
