Out-Dated Dam Killing Thousands Of Fish Near Tacoma
Sunday, September 1, 2013 at 12:00AM
Right now there are tens of thousands of salmon - including endangered species - dying at the base of an out-dated dam on the White River east of Tacoma. The Buckley Diversion Dam is blocking their homeward journey to spawn in the Mt. Rainier watershed. Local tribes say the federal government is failing in its responsibility to transport the fish around the dams on this river.
