What the heck is happening with the Eklutna River‪?‬ Northern Journal

    • Nachrichten

Eklutna Lake is a jewel of Anchorage recreation. It's also the source of some of the electricity used by city residents. A major policymaking process has been underway for the past several years to address the Eklutna hydroelectric project's effects on salmon, and it's now coming to its conclusion with intense controversy.
This is a complicated story with many different stakeholders. But two people who have been among the most involved are Aaron Leggett, head of Eklutna's tribal government, and Brad Meiklejohn, a longtime environmental advocate whose conservation group led a project to remove a derelict dam near the Eklutna River's mouth. They are featured on this episode; we hope to hear from the utilities that own the hydroelectric project in the coming days.
