United States Ninth Circuit
Northwest Resource Information Center, Inc. v. Northwest Power and Conservation Council, 10-72104
READ
The Sixth Northwest Power Plan, adopted by defendant, is: 1) affirmed, where plaintiffs did not point to any part of the Pacific Northwest Electric Poser Planning and Conservation Act that required defendant to reconsider fish and wildlife measures in light of its evaluation of the regional power system from the subsequent power planning process; but 2) remanded for the limited purposes of allowing public notice and comment on the proposed methodology for determining quantifiable environmental costs and benefits, and reconsidering the inclusion in the Plan of a market price-based estimate of the cost of accommodating fish and wildlife interests.
