Environmental Challenge to Utility Licensing Impact on Trout Fishery

In Hoopa Valley Tribe v. FERC, No. 09-1134, a petition for review of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s decision declining to impose conditions on a utility’s annual licenses so as to preserve the Klamath River’s trout fishery, the court denied the petition where 1) the Commission quite plainly articulated and applied a standard in rejecting the Tribe’s claims; and 2) the Commission’s determination that the utility was not causing “unanticipated, serious impacts” had sufficient factual support in the record.
