Staff Reports RED BLUFF Two Bay Area men were injured around 2:30 p.m. Monday when a 2002 Toyota pickup truck left the roadway on Wilcox Road at the northbound on- ramp to Interstate 5 north of Red Bluff and plunged about 50 feet down the em- bankment. According to a report from the California High- way Patrol, driver Jose Silva, 52, of Antioch was in- toxicated when he took the northbound exit from I-5 at Wilcox Road and failed to stop at the stop sign. The truck struck the as- phalt curb on the north side of Wilcox and became air- borne, the report said. It flipped end over end and stuck the ground 50 feet be- low head-on, causing major damage. Silva sustained major in- juries and was taken by air to Mercy Medical Center in Redding. He was later ar- rested for driving under the influence and causing injury. The passenger, Felix Del- gado, 40, also of Antioch, was taken by ambulance to Mercy with moderate inju- ries. An officer at the scene said Delgado may have had a broken sternum. Both men were wearing seat belts, the report said.

HEATHER HOELSCHER — DAILY NEWS bility for any damage that stems from their removal, said Bob Gravely, a spokes- man for Portland-based PacifiCorp. The plan, which aims to remove the dams in 2020, still needs approval from the Federal Energy Regula- tory Commission. Going through FERC avoids the need for congres- sional approval for dam re- moval, which was required in earlier Klamath plans but met opposition from Repub- lican lawmakers concerned about setting a precedent. A water settlement agree- ment expired at the end of 2015 when Congress failed to approve the dam re- moval. Going around Con- gress on dams could make it more politically palatable for lawmakers to back other elements of the water agree- ments. Dams thwart salmon migration, degrade water quality, alter water flows, and contribute to fish dis- eases and algae bloom prob- lems. Three tribes depend on the fish for subsistence and ceremonial needs, and a fourth hopes fish will re- turn once the dams are re- moved. One of the tribes already has obtained water rights through the courts, and the others could pursue that process, further lim- iting water to farmers and ranchers who use it for irri- gation. Klamath Basin ag- riculture is valued at about $670 million annually. PacifiCorp has supported a dam-removal agreement because it offers the util- ity liability protections and caps the costs to its custom- ers. Several studies have shown that dam upgrades likely to be required would significantly reduce elec- tricity generation and would cost millions more than dam removal and re- placement of hydropower with other sources. Funding for the $450 million project would come from PacifiCorp customers in California and Oregon, along with a water bond approved by California vot- ers in 2014.

The federal government and others have agreed to go forward with a plan to remove four hydroelectric dams along the Klamath River without approval from Congress.
