A few Western lawmakers in the Senate and House of Representatives are leaning on the Trump administration to investigate, and possibly roll back, a plan to manage invasive species in the Colorado River.⁠
⁠
They worry that recent efforts to control the spread of smallmouth bass in the Grand Canyon by increasing pulse flows from Glen Canyon Dam are taking too big a bite out of hydropower production and making electricity more expensive. To that end, Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) and Rep. Harriet Hageman (R-Wyo.) introduced companion bills in both chambers that would review the Bureau of Reclamation’s 2024 decision to use Glen Canyon Dam to mitigate the spread of smallies. The two bills would also address any impacts the decision has had on the Upper Colorado Basin Fund, which gets most of its funding from hydroelectric power revenues.⁠
