On June 12, President Donald Trump signed a presidential memorandum rolling back the Biden administration’s “Restoring Healthy and Abundant Salmon, Steelhead, and Other Native Fish Populations in the Columbia River Basin” memo.
The White House said the memo placed concerns about climate change above the country’s interests in reliable energy sources.
The National Association of Wheat Growers (NAWG) applauded the measure, saying the memo had included recommendations to breach one or more of the Lower Snake River dams.
“We have long stood against dam breaching because of the devastating economic consequences it would impose on communities throughout the Pacific Northwest,” said NAWG President Pat Clements.
