Spokane<\/p><\/div>\n

El lunes, los defensores del r\u00edo Spokane solicitaron al Departamento de Ecolog\u00eda de Washington que aumentara su regla de flujo para el popular y muy utilizado r\u00edo Spokane. El r\u00edo Spokane es un r\u00edo urbano muy querido que fluye a trav\u00e9s de la segunda ciudad m\u00e1s grande del estado de Washington e incluye espectaculares cascadas y un profundo desfiladero. Los conservacionistas buscan un flujo m\u00ednimo durante el verano de 1,800 a 2,800 pies c\u00fabicos por segundo para apoyar la pesca y la recreaci\u00f3n, y proteger los flujos m\u00e1s altos para la recreaci\u00f3n cuando est\u00e9n disponibles.<\/p>\n

\u201cPedimos al estado de Washington que 'siga la corriente', modifique su regla de caudal inadecuado y proteja el r\u00edo de la gente\u201d, dijo John Roskelley, kayakista, autor y vicepresidente del Centro de Leyes y Pol\u00edticas Ambientales. \u201cEl verano pasado, toda la comunidad sobrevivi\u00f3 a la sequ\u00eda y fue testigo de c\u00f3mo el r\u00edo Spokane se reduc\u00eda a un goteo en medio de campos de rocas. El estado tiene la responsabilidad fiduciaria de nuestro r\u00edo y debe hacer su trabajo\u201d.<\/p>\n

Casi 2,000 comentarios, incluidas encuestas de navegantes e inventarios est\u00e9ticos, se enviaron a Ecolog\u00eda durante el per\u00edodo de comentarios p\u00fablicos sobre el borrador de la regla. La agencia estatal ignor\u00f3 todos los comentarios p\u00fablicos en apoyo de la protecci\u00f3n del r\u00edo Spokane y adopt\u00f3 sin cambios su regla de flujo de 850 CFS: flujos de r\u00edo que son bajos y ponen en peligro el r\u00edo Spokane y los usos p\u00fablicos. <\/p>\n

Los peticionarios han contratado al Dr. Doug Whittaker y al Dr. Bo Shelby, expertos en recreaci\u00f3n y flujos est\u00e9ticos de Confluence Research and Consulting, para evaluar los flujos apropiados. Dres. Shelby y Whittaker participaron en el establecimiento de flujos est\u00e9ticos para Spokane Falls y son los principales expertos nacionales en flujos. Concluyen que los flujos adoptados por Ecolog\u00eda son inadecuados para soportar la mayor\u00eda de los tipos de navegaci\u00f3n recreativa en el r\u00edo. Deben protegerse los caudales m\u00e1s altos en el r\u00edo Spokane, cuando est\u00e9n disponibles.<\/p>\n

\u201cLas pesquer\u00edas del r\u00edo Spokane necesitan agua fr\u00eda y abundante\u201d, dijo Roskelley. \u201cEl Departamento de Ecolog\u00eda se equivoc\u00f3 al concluir que m\u00e1s agua es mala para los peces, lo que justifica su decisi\u00f3n de no proteger los flujos del r\u00edo Spokane\u201d. En respuesta, los peticionarios presentaron un informe preparado por el Prof. Allan Scholz, profesor y bi\u00f3logo pesquero retirado de la Universidad del Este de Washington. El profesor Scholz es autor de un tratado de varios vol\u00famenes sobre las pesquer\u00edas del este de Washington y es uno de los principales expertos en la trucha roja del r\u00edo Spokane.<\/p>\n

El Prof. Scholz determin\u00f3 que la regla de caudal del estado (establecer el \u00edndice de caudal del r\u00edo Spokane en 850 CFS por debajo de la represa de la calle Monroe en el verano) es inadecuada para proteger y restaurar una poblaci\u00f3n saludable de truchas de banda roja, y que el estudio cient\u00edfico preparado en apoyo de la tasa fue defectuoso. Los conservacionistas se\u00f1alan que la ecolog\u00eda podr\u00eda haberse acomodado a las necesidades de los recreacionistas del r\u00edo sin sacrificar los peces. <\/p>\n

\u201cNuestra ciudad debe sus or\u00edgenes, su belleza y gran parte de su vida pasada y presente al r\u00edo Spokane\u201d, dijo Tom Soeldner, copresidente del Upper Columbia River Group de Sierra Club, con sede en Spokane. \u201cSer\u00eda una traici\u00f3n al r\u00edo y a nuestra identidad si no mantenemos caudales sanos y est\u00e9ticos\u201d.<\/p>\n

Los peticionarios se\u00f1alan que Ecolog\u00eda tiene el deber, seg\u00fan la ley estatal y la doctrina del fideicomiso p\u00fablico, de enmendar la regla para adoptar flujos que protejan completamente todos los valores p\u00fablicos de la corriente, incluidos los peces y la vida silvestre, la recreaci\u00f3n, la navegaci\u00f3n, la calidad del agua y la belleza esc\u00e9nica. Los flujos que no est\u00e1n protegidos corren el riesgo de ser desviados del r\u00edo Spokane para usos de agua fuera de la corriente, incluidos los bombeos de Idaho, la ciudad de Spokane y el proyecto ASR Spokane-Rathdrum de la oficina del r\u00edo Columbia.<\/p>\n

"Excluir a los balseros, kayakistas y canoistas en la configuraci\u00f3n de los flujos sienta un precedente peligroso para los r\u00edos del estado de Washington", dijo Thomas O'Keefe, director de administraci\u00f3n del Noroeste del Pac\u00edfico de American Whitewater. "El r\u00edo de nuestro estado enfrenta muchas demandas, pero en \u00faltima instancia, tenemos una responsabilidad colectiva administraci\u00f3n y protecci\u00f3n de los r\u00edos de nuestro estado, y el Departamento de Ecolog\u00eda debe proteger la diversidad de usos beneficiosos que brindan nuestros r\u00edos, incluida la recreaci\u00f3n\u201d.<\/p>\n

Al establecer los flujos internos, el Departamento de Ecolog\u00eda no escuch\u00f3 a los navegantes que usan el r\u00edo Spokane y las empresas que dependen de la recreaci\u00f3n del r\u00edo Spokane. Ecolog\u00eda tampoco realiz\u00f3 una evaluaci\u00f3n b\u00e1sica de los valores esc\u00e9nicos del r\u00edo Spokane a medida que fluye a trav\u00e9s del desfiladero y el Parque Estatal Riverside, importante para los usuarios del Centennial Trail y otros.<\/p>\n

\u201cEl estado debe cumplir con sus responsabilidades de fideicomiso y administraci\u00f3n para proteger el r\u00edo Spokane para las generaciones presentes y futuras\u201d, dijo Andrea Rodgers, abogada del Western Environmental Law Center. \u201cEstablecer tasas de flujo para el r\u00edo que no protejan a los peces, sacrifiquen los usos del r\u00edo por parte de los navegantes recreativos y cuesten los ingresos necesarios para las empresas de Spokane es una abdicaci\u00f3n del deber legal del estado\u201d.<\/p>\n

El Departamento de Ecolog\u00eda tiene 60 d\u00edas para responder a la petici\u00f3n de los ciudadanos. Los peticionarios son Sierra Club, CELP y American Whitewater, y est\u00e1n representados por los abogados Andrea Rodgers (WELC) y Dan Von Seggern (CELP).<\/p>\n
