| More NewsNMFS requests FERC rehearing on Tuolumne flowsby Chris Shutes May 2, 2008. On April 3, 2008, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission issued an order that keeps flows on the Tuolumne River status quo until 2016. In 2007, 180 salmon made it back to the river to spawn. Summer flows in the Tuolumne are too low for steelhead and resident trout. CSPA's FERC Projects Director Chris Shutes worked with Cindy Charles of the Golden West Women Flyfishers to motivate the fisheries agencies to request rehearing on FERC's disastrous order. On Friday, May 2, the National Marine Fisheries Service filed a Request For Rehearing, one of the best efforts we've seen from NMFS in some time. (Read the full rehearing request.)
