| Notes | PacificCorp’s North Umpqua Hydroelectric Project consists of 8 dams and assorted infrastructure such as roads, waterways and powerhouses on the North Umpqua, the Clearwater River and Fish Creek. This paper describes a watershed analysis conducted by the company in advance of its application for relicensing. “If we were to continue down the traditional FERC path, we saw an endless amount of additional studies that would have been required to satisfy resource agencies’ needs. We also saw this as a very study intensive, long term approach without any assurance for closure, hence the term ‘technical studies treadmill’… This watershed analysis was the solution.” (Schwall, p.4) |
