Ways You Can Help Auburn Ravine Salmon with Your Letters to Create Passage for Salmon and Steelhead over Its Two Dam, Hemphill and Gold Hill

First, write letters to local Gold Country Media papers i. e. Auburn Journal, Colfax Record, Linco...ln News Messenger, Loomis News, Roseville Press Tribune, et. al. and to the Sacramento Bee urging Nevada Irrigation District (NID) provide PERMANENT fish passage over its two dams on Auburn Ravine, Hemphill and Gold Hill.

NID has become a pariah water contractor concerned with the bottom line at the expense of the environment especially the fishes it is blocking from spawning with its dams and harming them by inaction.

NID has spent over $488k on just filing fees alone to build the monstrous Parker Dam on Bear River at a projected cost of $160 million while completely neglecting it Auburn Ravine dams.

NID has been singing a happy song for a long time without action. Your voice will help salmon so please write a letter, the most effective action any citizen can take. NID will only react from public pressure.

Second, write a letter to Jim Bachman, Chairman of the Board of the Nevada Irrigation District (NID), demanding he put fish passage over Hemphill and Gold Hill Dams on Auburn Ravine. His address is Nevada Irrigation District, 1036 West Main Street, Grass Valley, CA95945. He is responsible for the management of NID.

And, finally, write to Senators Feinstein, who has help SARSAS protect salmon, and Boxer, asking that the Department of Commerce instruct NOAA to become active on Auburn Ravine in its mission of protecting Inland Anadromous fishes, salmon and steelhead.

You letters will also help save the salmon on the Pacific Coast, but you must write. Inaction allows salmon to head toward extinction.
