Abstract
Focusing on the Klamath Basin, this Article examines the major
hydropower relicensing provisions of the Energy Policy Act
of 2005;6 evaluates the relevant provisions of the Department of
Interior’s implementing regulations for section 241 of the Energy
Policy Act; and discusses two significant opinions, one administrative
and one judicial, that will undoubtedly impact the water
users and managers in the Basin. Finally, the Article briefly discusses
factors outside of the FERC relicensing process, including
the resolution of the legal challenge to the 2001 water curtailment,
the results of the challenge to the most recent biological
opinion for the coho salmon in the Klamath River, and the pending
Fifth Amendment Takings litigation in the Court of Federal
Claims that may also contribute to a changed dynamic among the
various stakeholders.
