The issues surrounding the Upper Columbia River, from the environmental effects to the economic well being of the communities in the region, provided the fuel for two days of discussions, presentations, fact exchanging and open dialogue at an annual conference held last week in Spokane.
Several hundred people, from scientists, government officials and dam operators, to tribal members, property owners and concerned citizens, gathered for the 2010 Lake Roosevelt Forum Conference held Nov. 15-16 in the Davenport Hotel downtown. The conference featured an assortment of round-table sessions and presentations on state, federal and tribal issues, set up to allow anyone in attendance to network, share information, and ask questions on the diverse topics to those in the know, said Andy Dunau, executive director of the Lake Roosevelt Forum organization.
“The reason the conference was organized is Lake Roosevelt is really the battery for the Columbia River power operation. It’s at the heart of a lot of the issues affecting the Upper Columbia River. So you have this tension, or this dynamic, between local interests and needs, and regional interests and needs,” he explained about the conference, now in its 10th year. “So the conference is the one place where we pull in people from Portland, Seattle, Boise, Canada and Idaho, and get them all in the same room at the same time to be able to network with each other, talk to each other and get the latest information. It doesn’t exist anywhere else.”
The topics were as varied as those in attendance. They included: Water quality, lake elevations, flood risk reduction, watershed planning, weed control, land use and recreation, and fishery needs. Booths were set up between the bays where the sessions were held, with vendors such as the U.S. Geological Survey, Upper Columbia United Tribes (UCUT, which represents the Coeur d’Alene Tribe, Kalispel, Kootenai and Spokane tribes of Indians, and the Confederated Tribes of Colville Reservation) and citizen-led groups offering information.
“There are an unbelievable number of projects, and not just from Lake Roosevelt,” Dunau said, adding that people can address the specialists investigating issues such as the mercury levels in the fish pulled from the lake and the reasons for lowering the lake levels.
The future of the Columbia River Treaty was perhaps the most-discussed issue at the conference. The treaty, between the U.S. and Canadian governments, oversees power generation and flood risk reduction along the river.
