HOUSE JOINT MEMORIAL 9
RS31498 / HJM009
The Hells Canyon complex of dams support the economic well-being, recreation, and quality of life for all Idahoans. This resolution supports the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s relicensing process for the Hells Canyon complex of dams to provide electricity for Idahoans, and encourages that this be done with a minimum stream flow requirement of 8,500 cfs during the May 15 to October 1 period each year. Doing so will reduce major fluctuations in stream levels, which will help improve water temperatures, fisheries, and river navigation, all of which are important to a $230 million recreation industry.
This concurrent resolution does not have the force of law. Therefore, there is no fiscal impact to any state or local government funds.
