Salmon can’t hold their breath and wriggle up the dry riverbed and over the dam.
Several federal agencies prefer building a fish ladder around the dam. The problem, as the utilities and — ahem — Fish and Game see it, is that this would be more expensive than a spigot.
While the utilities dawdled for 30 years, a conservation organization and the Native Village of Eklutna removed an abandoned lower dam in 2018, saving the utilities $7.5 million in restoration costs. The Alaska Legislature is funding restoration of the Eklutna Lakeside Trail — which is often eroded by high water backed up by the utilities — to the tune of $234,000. The utilities’ reluctance to fix what they broke is costing us money.
