What was the legal reason for the drawdown????????????????????

When is the 2024 draw down scheduled for

“Trust the experts”……

FILE SUIT AGAINST THAT JUDGE WHO CAUSED ALL OF THIS BECAUSE OF BUROCRACY!

What a terrible shame!

Killing thousands of fish to attempt to establish a new run of "wild" fish that are not even native to the waters above Green Peter. Insanity.

I was disappointed that they never actually explained the reason for the draw downs. They never once mentioned the effect this reservoir is having on the river and fish trying to migrate upriver in late fall and winter.

Oregon has become victim of some of the worst government ever inflicted on its citizens.

The damage was done filling these lakes. This is all the aftermath of poor decisions made long ago, not recent ones.

I don’t understand the rapid drawdowns. Why not extend the drawdowns over, maybe a two year period, so the turbidity won’t get as bad.

Go back in 5 years and see what it looks like

Wonder what the scientists and environmental groups that pushed for this drawdown to happen are saying now? Probably nothing!

WHOOPS... THEY DIDN'T THINK OF EVERYTHING.....CHALK IT UP TO A BRAIN FART

Remove the dams.

Flushing the sping salmon smolts past the green peter dam every year is the main goal, but the question is will they survive the sediment load that goes with it , but as far as the Kokanee fishery in green peter, that will be gone. My question is, are they planning on doing the same with foster reservoir, isn't it the same situation there with the salmon smolts.

Kokanee were planted, non native salmon

The people who allowed this insane corruption of a watershed should be prosecuted but of course they won't because they are Democrat politicians!

Sue the living daylights out of everyone responsible, including the judge and lawyers. Maybe these so-called eco-experts are just activists and need to be treated like eco-terrorists instead.

all water holds are being depleted. not for the reasons given, just a cover for the destruction it is intended to lead to.

Those townships are due "hardship" imposed by the ESA lawsuit, which should be paid by those filing the injunction. Countersuit should have been filed immediately by all of the townships, creating a class-action suit against the Federal Govt for not following the guidelines of the ESA and Federal management plans.

On a positive note I recently fished the s santiam and caught many fish. A summer run steelhead and large trout.

NOT COR ENGINEERS FAULT - THE COURTS WHO NEVER FACT CHECKED WHAT THEY RULED ON IS .......................... SO MANY SEEN THIS COMING BUT NO ONE WOULD LISTEN !!!!!!

Thank you for sharing this video.i use to live in cascadia and would go camping and fishing at green peter frequently.what a disaster this has turned into!! What a shame! The impacts of this will last a long long time.

This looks bad, but it is a prime example of our need to reevaluate our watersheds and to find better ways to store and manage our water. My personal belief is that we must create new wetlands on a grand scale, but that is a subject for debate at another time.

This whole deal is so frustrating to fisherman. I know people who ran guided trips on Green Peter, and any hopes of my usual trout and salmon fishing on the South Santiam this year are pretty much gone

Yall need to fix this

Mayor of Sweet Home: "There are other options than the drawdown - so far the Federal Gubbermint hasn't allocated any money...." That's because they're to busy sending all our money to Ukraine to protect the Sex-traffickers from the likes of Putin.

Never had it, never was a issue, why now? How about fight wildfish freaks and stand up against that.

IT'S AN EMERGENCY AND WE NEED MILLIONS OF TAX DOLLARS THEN WHERE'D ALL THE MONEY?

HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED WHY WE HAVE SOOOOO MANY HATCHERY FISH TRUCKS FLIPPING OVER AROUND HERE COSTING TAX PAYERS MILLIONS???

It's just seems so disgusting to hear ODFW crying the loss of a few non-native landlocked by man stocked fish.Water quality issues a very temporary.Just people playing huge victims for free taxpayer handouts."the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) has discussed the possibility of continuing to stock kokanee in Green Peter Reservoir due to overpopulation issues." You can go to Greenpeter on a busy weekend and there are like two Hill Billy's fishing but they'll freak the fuck out and claim billions of dollars in damages.

Is Cougar Reservoir effected also? I was recently camping there , and it looks the same.....

Thank you. 😢

Green Peter, Foster and the South Santiam were some of the most beautiful recreation areas when I was growing up. What exactly were the plaintiffs trying to accomplish with this lawsuit? If this was to assist the chinook in reaching their spawning grounds, it looks like it failed, leaving warm overly silted water to navigate. If this was to help the Spring Chinook smolts navigate the lake, it left warm, silted water where predators like bass could exterminate them. Looks like the entire river system was negatively impacted (unless you're a bass.)

This seems like a legit reason for an organized peaceful protest.

damn activists and tree huggers and liberals they think they're doing good but only doing harm and the federal government doesn't have the back bone to fist these frivolous lawsuits rather they just fold and pander to the green peace liberal activists

I hope that the Sweet Home government learns from this mistake!

My Wife and I lived in Sweet Home from 2006 till May of 2023....when we moved last year I was telling friends and family this is going to go horrible and is looking to be true....any time the enviro crazies like this and a radical judge who is not affected by this get there way it seems to and then just shrug and walk away like nothing happened...or like urkel "did I do that...sorry" as an old song lyric goes...."they have eyes o look but not to see"

I live in this county and was wondering what was going on with this lake. This didn’t quite answer my “why”?, when so many species, from tiny to large, are affected. Where did the wild life get water to drink? Look how the people’s water systems suffered.

Human error 👍 Hope you found eggs Did you ? Survey 🧐

Water quality made people sick. Made animals have diarrhea Eagles were flying in flicks search for fish They didn't eat for they could not see the fish... Was sad. City was responsible for providing clean healthy water. They did not ,‼️ Proper testing wasn't complete for 3 weeks or more Yet ! Were told to drink the water🤬 Was fine they said 🤬 Human error✔️

Beautiful video, but I wish you had belled the cat, i.e. named the judge who mandated this action, which court the decision was made in, who the plaintiffs were, and provided a link to the decision and whatever information is available from the court. When Greg Taylor spoke in Lebanon, he said the judge could review the USACE data from the first year and possibly modify his mandate after one year. Keep putting pressure on state representatives and the governor. As my favorite civil rights lawyer often says, the court of public opinion does influence the courts. In that regard, this documentary provides some good feedback from the public and the local communities affected.

Thank you for the time it took you to make this. I hope it gets shared

That is a great video thank you for putting the time into producing such an informative production. It truly is a tragedy that the judge that had no idea what a devastating action his ruling would have to the people and the environment. Not to mention the number of fish species that where released into the Willamette river system such a smallmouth bass and walleye.

If you have an audio version of this, KORC Radio in Corvallis would be interested! Thank you!

T They talked about wild life. I hated what I was seeing. It created sagnate pools of water. I took my dog up there to take a look my dog drank some of that water. it almost killed her cost me 800.00 in vet bills. I thought no signs put up no notification. I tried to contact the coors main office fish and game and governor with zero response. how much wild life it will effect is really yet to be seen. The most logical solution would be NO MORE DRAW DOWNS.

The Corp of Engineers should - IGNORE!!! the Federal Government and the State - and Stop the draw downs. Man has no Clue what they think they are doing! Natrue and God Know best about this world! Just Leave the Lakes alone! Let the lake refill -= ( and Leave it alone! ~ M.A.

The best kind of government, is no government.

It appears censorship is alive and well with anything negative. What a joke

This affects my community. I’m saddened by the impact the Feds decision has had locally.
