Winchester Dam, what is wrong with it and who will fix it?

This is a conversation with Jim McCarthy, the Southern Oregon Program Director for WaterWatch of Oregon. Waterwatch is part of a coalition of conservation groups suing over the fish-killing Winchester Dam on the North Umpqua River, North of Roseburg. Jim describes the history of the dam, ownership, management, and why the dam kills fish, including coho, steelhead, and pacific lamprey. Visit Waterwatch at: https://waterwatch.org/.
