This may have been posted already, but I couldn't find it so I'll just leave it here due to it's relevancy.. It's an interesting read, in my opinion. https://www.iciclenetwork.com/dispute

I hadn't heard that they'd released the draft EIS - comment period ends July 30th!

Their arguments regarding the flaws in dam expansion seem persuasive

If this happens, it would seem that Wilderness designations are just temporary.

I wouldn't say so. The districts are operating decades old dams with water and operating rights that pre date the wilderness. What is being argued is the districts ability to slightly expand their water holdings and management there of. Either way, I wouldn't use any loss as an indication of weakness of wilderness designation. I would use a win by those opposed to expansion by the districts as an afirmation of the designation. I wouldn't characterize this as a win or lose, more of a win or draw. Not baseball, but futbal
