Description: Scope/Content: Abstract: This report presents the results of a liabilities assessment for the removal of four hydroelectric dams (J.C. Boyle, Copco No. 1, Copco No. 2, and Iron Gate Dams) on the Klamath River (See Figure ES-1). This assessment was conducted following the development of the Klamath Basin Restoration Agreement in early 2008 between the U.S. Department of the Interior, PacifiCorp, and the current stakeholder group, which identified the decommissioning and removal of the four dams as a key component of the agreement. Several groups representing resource and regulatory agencies and non-governmental organizations(NGOs) have commissioned studies in an attempt to identify a process and quantify the potential liabilities associated with decommissioning and removal of the four dams. The process for decommissioning studied to date has emphasized the rapid removal of the dams and passage of trapped sediment down the Klamath River.
