Subject: Please Protect and Restore the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon

Dear U.S. Dept of Interior and National Park Service, We have a historic opportunity to protect and restore the Colorado River and the Grand Canyon -- now is the time to seize the day! I respectfully request that you revise your Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) for the Glen Canyon Dam Long Term Experimental and Management Plan so that it complies with federal laws including the National Environmental Policy Act and Endangered Species Act, and so that it protects and restores the Colorado River and the Grand Canyon. Specifically. 1. The FEIS fails to take climate change seriously and does not use the best available climate change science and its predicted impacts on flows in the Colorado River. 2. The FEIS fails to consider all necessary alternatives to fix the ecological problems in the Colorado River and Grand Canyon, including the alternative of removing Glen Canyon Dam. 3. The FEIS fails to consider alternatives that comply with the Endangered Species Act and actually “recover” the endangered fish rather than breeding and stocking them forever. 4. The FEIS fails to adequately account for the methane emissions from operating Glen Canyon Dam and Lake Powell. The operations of Glen Canyon Dam have caused irrecoverable damage to the Colorado River and the Grand Canyon, but we don't have to let history dictate our future. Please seize this historic opportunity to create a new plan that protects and restores the Colorado River, Grand Canyon, and Glen Canyon! Thank you! Sincerely,
