Remove the Winchester, Pomeroy and Murphy dams from Oregon’s North Umpqua, Illinois and Applegate rivers to provide unimpeded access for salmon, steelhead and other fish to over 360 miles of high quality spawning and rearing habitat upstream, help restore world-class steelhead and salmon runs in the North Umpqua and Rogue river basins, and remove significant hazards and barriers to recreational navigation on these rivers.
