The community’s lifeblood, the Truckee River, has returned with vigor.
Fisheries managers are considering a plan to reopen the popular wild winter steelhead fishery on the Skagit River.

Trout Unlimited has also championed similar good Samaritan legislation for hardrock mining. U.S. EPA has clarified hardrock liability protections before, but Wood said liability concerns keep his group and others from taking on major projects like flooded mine shafts, such as the Gold King mine that famously spilled in 2015.
"We're the most full-throated advocate for the Clean Water Act there is, but just some minor tweaks that make it easier to make improvements to water quality that may not be perfect is what we're looking for," Wood said.
