That's the point. It would cost more to fix these dams up. That's the problem we faced on the Elwha. Even though the dams were there, the cost was so high to fix them up that it was better to take them out. Now, this study will just look at this and the local people will wind up getting hurt if you force them to have to do this. So let the local people decide this and let this study go forward. It is a very inexpensive thing, and this community has worked hard and deserves a chance to look at this.
