A federal judge has ordered Electron Hydro to breach a dam on the Puyallup River, including removing a 'temporary' structure, citing violations of the Endangered Species Act, specifically to aid threatened salmon populations. This decision marks the river flowing freely for the first time in 100 years. The ruling is part of broader environmental legal actions, including a separate case where a judge faulted the Florida takeover of federal wetlands permitting, halting projects threatening the Florida panther habitat.
