Steelhead listings

TU intervened in two lawsuits brought by farm and irrigation groups to remove steelhead from the list of protected species because of the presence of rainbow trout, as well as the manner in which they were listed. Initially two separate cases (Modesto Irrigation District and California State Grange), the court has combined the cases and will issue one decision. We are anxiously awaiting a decision on this case, which could have major impacts.
