Hydropower Dam Relicensing: The Michigan Council of Trout Unlimited supports the
ongoing efforts of the Michigan Hydro-Relicensing Coalition to gain recognition and
accommodation of coldwater fisheries needs in the negotiation of licenses for dams in
Michigan regulated by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, and monitoring the
implementation of those licenses when granted. Attention will be paid to improving flow
regimes, water quality, temperature regimes and fish passage at federally regulated and
other dams.
