Elwha hatchery under fire Suit filed in Tacoma to prevent spring release of young fish BY PAUL GOTTLIEB PENINSULA DAILY NEWS
PORT ANGELES — Four conservation groups have ramped up their efforts to prevent the releases next spring of hatchery-bred steelhead and coho salmon smolts during the ongoing $325 million Elwha River salmon restoration project. The groups filed requests last week in federal District Court in Tacoma for a preliminary injunction and a partial summary judgment to prevent the releases, saying the plans should be reviewed for compliance with the federal Endangered Species Act, or ESA, and that they would harm species listed as threatened under the act. In their request for an injunction, the groups want to halt a planned April release of about 175,000 steelhead smolts and about 425,000 hatchery coho salmon smolts from the Lower Elwha Klallam hatchery into the Elwha River, much of which is in Olympic National Park. “The large-scale releases of hatchery fish proposed to occur this spring will have severely deleterious effects on the wild fish population and their recovery potential,” said the injunction request, adding that several species are protected under federal law.

Jefferson County retailers who offered special day-after-Thanksgiving sales Friday said business was good, including at Hadlock Building Supply in Port Hadlock, where specials “flew off the shelves,” said co-owner Elena Lovato-Kraut. Many stores will continue sales throughout the holiday weekend.

OLYMPIC NATIONAL PARK — Researchers donned rain gear and climbed into a raft earlier this month to study sediment released from behind the massive dams that once straddled the Elwha River to see how it will affect salmon spawning. During the week of Nov. 5, a team of scientists from several federal agencies floated down the newly released Elwha River to study how sediment flowing down the river is changing the river’s bed and the bottoms of what used to be lakes Aldwell and Mills.
