Newhouse Testifies in Natural Resources Committee Hearing To Protect the Lower Snake River Dams

Today, Congressman Dan Newhouse (WA-04) joined the House Committee on Natural Resources’ Water, Wildlife and Fisheries Subcommittee for a hearing to question stakeholders on the Biden Administration’s efforts to breach the four Lower Snake River Dams.

“The Columbia River System Operations, including the operation of the Lower Snake River dams, is of critical importance to Central Washington and the rest of the Pacific Northwest. 

If these dams are breached, those most negatively impacted will include electricity customers, transportation stakeholders, river-dependent ports and communities, farmers, and recreationists.”
