A new draft report finds that breaching the four lower Snake River dams in Eastern Washington could help restore endangered salmon and benefit tribes, but the cost of replacing benefits of the dam would be high.
 

“We continue to approach the question of breaching with open minds and without a predetermined decision,” said Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., and Washington Gov. Jay Inslee in a joint statement, as the draft was released Thursday. They commissioned the report to determine if there are reasonable means of replacing the benefits provided by the dams from Ice Harbor Dam near the Tri-Cities upriver to Lower Granite Dam near Lewiston, Idaho, to allow their removal to be part of a comprehensive strategy to rebuild salmon populations.
