They know going in that destroying these dams with salmon runs will unbalance the ecosystem for a time, but there’s no other way to return these rivers to their natural state.

Thank you. It’s finally getting some attention.
This is a taking but no one wants to address it.

From the federal government!

This is a taking and property owners are damaged.

The Natural Resources Section’s jurisdiction encompasses so-called “inverse condemnation” claims. In these cases, private property owners sue the United States when they believe that some government action has interfered with the use and enjoyment of their property. Such government actions can be:

physical in nature, such as permanent flooding of property abutting a river caused by the construction of dam, or
regulatory in nature, such as the denial of a permit under the Clean Water Act to dredge and fill wetlands.

“The environmentalists don’t care about the fish, their only goal is stopping capitalism. The salmon/spotted owl is just a club to make that happen.”

The locals are devastated. They reach out on Facebook, trying to communicate only to be met with arrogant insults by the ignorant envirofreaks.
Everyone is losing hope. My neighbors were good people before the left invaded and destroyed everything.

“The silt collected behind the dams was highly polluted and killed the fish when it was flushed downstream.”

Exactly. The bubble disease excuse is crap. We told them not to do it. Our wells are contaminated!

Silt plume....
Everything is covered with it. Deer, elk, horses stuck in the stuff dying. Some kind people shot some instead of letting them freeze and starve and the envirofreaks pitched a fit about that!!

“I’m convinced that part of the destruction of the dams was in retribution for the locals making the Feds stand down circa 2001”

You are damn right!
Plus siskiyou county voted 57% TRUMP!!!
We had a bunch of so California lefties move in..took over the churches too!

I know how paranoid I sound. They.....the leftists burned us out with the Almeda fire in September 2020 30 miles away from the dam.
After everything you worked for, for 76 years is destroyed by bad public policy. You
get that way!!!

Sorry Aunt B, they should have rebelled and established the State Of Jefferson decades ago.

They knew what was going on in Sacramento.

They don’t care about the ecosystem in the slightest. They only care about destroying America.

Which is worse, a power plant or a forest fire burning 500 sq miles?

I understand your efforts, your loss, and that you are at the mercy of a horde of Mob Rule "Voters" in Sacramento and Urban Bay Area and Southern California Counties.

I simply recognize the Real World situation and the use of Mob Rule Voters to destroy Civilization, not just your Family and Property, and I say so. (Check my Tagline.)

I agree that most Siskiyou County residents are Patriots, however some still voted for Socialist officials. They are the ignorant you are referring to.

Interestingly, my family was stripped of a large Ranch in Calaveras County, and recently was forced to sell and move from a smaller one in Josephine County, Oregon by Narcotics Legalization, we got the same treatment as you, and none of us ever voted for a Socialist in our lives.

PS, I supported the Farmers historic water rights from the Klamath River from the beginning (about a decade ago), including the broken control gates.
