  • Flooding the Border: Development, Politics, and Environmental Controversy in the Canadian-U.S
    FLOODING THE BORDER: DEVELOPMENT, POLITICS, AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROVERSY IN THE CANADIAN-U.S. SKAGIT VALLEY by Philip Van Huizen A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in The Faculty of Graduate Studies (History) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) June 2013 © Philip Van Huizen, 2013 Abstract This dissertation is a case study of the 1926 to 1984 High Ross Dam Controversy, one of the longest cross-border disputes between Canada and the United States. The controversy can be divided into two parts. The first, which lasted until the early 1960s, revolved around Seattle’s attempts to build the High Ross Dam and flood nearly twenty kilometres into British Columbia’s Skagit River Valley. British Columbia favoured Seattle’s plan but competing priorities repeatedly delayed the province’s agreement. The city was forced to build a lower, 540-foot version of the Ross Dam instead, to the immense frustration of Seattle officials. British Columbia eventually agreed to let Seattle raise the Ross Dam by 122.5 feet in 1967. Following the agreement, however, activists from Vancouver and Seattle, joined later by the Upper Skagit, Sauk-Suiattle, and Swinomish Tribal Communities in Washington, organized a massive environmental protest against the plan, causing a second phase of controversy that lasted into the 1980s. Canadian and U.S. diplomats and politicians finally resolved the dispute with the 1984 Skagit River Treaty. British Columbia agreed to sell Seattle power produced in other areas of the province, which, ironically, required raising a different dam on the Pend d’Oreille River in exchange for not raising the Ross Dam.

For more information, please contact [email protected], [email protected], [email protected]. JACKIE KROLOPP KIRN* and MARION E. MARTS** The Skagit-High Ross Controversy: Negotiation and Settlement SETTING AND BACKGROUND The Skagit River is a short but powerful stream which rises in the mountains of southwestern British Columbia, cuts through the northern Cascades in a spectacular and once-remote mountain gorge, and empties into Puget Sound approximately sixty miles north of Seattle. The beautiful mountain scenery of the heavily glaciated north Cascades was formally recognized in the United States by the creation of the North Cascades National Park and the Ross Lake National Recreation Area in 1968, and earlier in British Columbia by creation of the E.C. Manning Provincial Park. The Ross Lake Recreation Area covers the narrow valley of the upper Skagit River in Washington and portions of several tributary valleys. It was created as a political and, to environmentalists who wanted national park status for the entire area, controversial, compromise which accom- modated the city of Seattle's Skagit River Project and the then-planned North Cascades Highway.

  • Helmy Beckey, 1925 – 2019 Helmut Fritz Beckey, Known As Helmy, Was Born in Seattle and Died in Munich, Germany, at Age 93
    AAC Publications Helmy Beckey, 1925 – 2019 Helmut Fritz Beckey, known as Helmy, was born in Seattle and died in Munich, Germany, at age 93. In his youth, he established first ascents and new routes throughout the Cascades and elsewhere. Helmy learned the basics of climbing as a member of the Mountaineers, where his aptitude was recognized early. In 1940, he and his brother Fred, who was two years older, made two extensive excursions into the Picket Range. The teenagers climbed the west ridge of Mt. Thompson and made the first ascents of Forbidden Peak, Phantom Peak, Whatcom Peak, Mt. Challenger, Crooked Thumb, Luna Peak, Mt. Fury’s East Peak, McMillan Spire’s West Spire, and Inspiration Peak. In 1941, along with the numerous first ascents and new routes in the North Cascades he did with Fred, Helmy joined Lloyd Anderson, Lyman Boyer, and Tom Campbell in the Bugaboos of British Columbia, where they completed the first ascent of the South Tower of Howser Spire. In the summer of 1942, Helmy and Fred embarked on a six-week expedition into the Coast Mountains of British Columbia. Here, the teenage brothers famously climbed the remote and challenging Mt. Waddington. It was only the second ascent of the peak, which had repelled a multitude of summit attempts. Fred Beckey wrote in the 1943 AAJ about the descent: “Helmy was hit on the knee by one of a flurry of rocks that sped down the mountain side. All hope of reaching camp that night was gone because of a heavily bleeding cut. This was Helmy’s 17th birthday present, donated by Mt.

AT1 T_As.C> Je^ BATTLE LINES DRAWN by The Kerosene Kid duty it should have been to protect the park. Each such campaign has been accompanied by barrages of propaganda that the resources of the park were essential to the continued growth of the surrounding area or that new roads were needed along the wilderness beach or across the park's wilderness core "to open it up for the peepul. " Each time the friends of Olympic have rallied, mounted counter-attacks and saved the park. We have no reason to believe the history of the North Cascades over the next third of a century will be any different. But, to para­ phrase Mr. Churchill, the North Cascades Conservation Council (N3C) was not organized to preside over the dissolution of the North Cascades. We expect attacks and we confi­ dently expect to win. To prevent Seattle City Light from imple­ menting its destructive proposals in the Ross Lake National Recreation Area will require as If any conservationist felt he was honor­ tough a fight as conservationists ever have ably discharged from the wars upon passage waged.

Photographs should be black and white glossy prints, 5x7, with caption and photographer's name on back. Manuscripts should be typed double-spaced and include writer's name, address and phone number. foreword Since the North Cascades National Park was indubi­ tably the event of this past year, this issue of The Mountaineer attempts to record aspects of that event. Many other magazines and groups have celebrated by now, of course, but hopefully we have managed to avoid total redundancy. Probably there will be few outward signs of the new management in the park this summer. A great deal of thinking and planning is in progress as the Park Serv­ ice shapes its policies and plans developments. The North Cross-State highway, while accessible by four­ wheel vehicle, is by no means fully open to the public yet. So, visitors and hikers are unlikely to "see" the changeover to park status right away. But the first articles in this annual reveal both the thinking and work which led to the park, and the think­ ing which must now be done about how the park is to be used.

Table 2: Habitat characteristics where mountain goats were observed 5 Distribution and Abundance of Mountain Goats within the Ross Lake Watershed, North Cascades National Park Service Complex Introduction Mountain goats (Oreamnus americanus) are native to northwestern North America and can be found throughout the North Cascades National Park Service Complex (NOCA). Their habitat requirements are quite specific and suitable habitat is patchily distributed across the landscape. During a11 seasons, mountain goat habitat is characterized by steep, rocky terrain. Summer habitat is generally above 1525 m (5000 ft) elevation, and features rock outcrops in or near subalpine meadows and forest (Welch, 1991; Holmes, 1993; Schoen and Kirchoff, 1981; NCASI, 1989; Chadwick, 1983; Benzon and Rice, 1988). Many mountain goat populations in Washington have declined during the last 20 years. Although specific causes have not been identified, several factors may have contributed to the regional decline.

    'Ha, Ha, Ha . And Not a Cloud in Sight' THE WILD CASCADES October - November 1970 2 THE WILD CASCADES SEATTLE PASSES THE ROSS DAM BUCK! Conservationists have tried for over a year to open the Seattle City Council's eyes to the fact that Seattle City Light has presented a very biased, one-sided story on the raising of Ross Dam. We have had to lobby the City Council and the Mayor from without the walls of City Hall while John Nelson has done his lobbying from within. A year ago the Seattle City Council voted 5 to 4 against the environment by authorizing City Light to proceed with its Ross High Dam plans. Today, one year and one Council election later, the vote was 6 to 2, still against the environment and now making it mandatory that City Light apply to the Federal Power Commission for permission to raise Ross Dam. It might have been 6 to 3 if Sam Smith had been present. (1) On December 19, 1970 Seattle City Light filed its Ross High Dam application with the F. P. C. (2) Immediately the North Cascades Conservation Council also filed with the F. P. C. , but in opposition to City Light's application. (3) The Federal Power Commission will hold hearings on High Ross in 1971 and 1972, possibly in Seattle (we shall let you know). (4) Washington State Department of Ecology will hold public hearings on raising Ross Dam (see page 36). (5) The Canadian Federal Government will conduct judicial hearings on the flooding of the upper Skagit by High Ross (see page 36).
