New details today on jobs that may be created by a project to remove dams and restore teh Klamath River. The Interior Department now saying the removal of the four hydroelectric dams would take at least a year and provide around fourteen-hundred construction jobs while the project is ongoing. The Department also projecting long-term Klamath Basin restoration projects could create some four thousand six hundred jobs. The downside, it says, is the risk of flooding in the Basin -- and the cost, now tagged at as much as 493-million dollars.
