This collection contains the papers of Friends of Bear River and the reports and legal materials they used to present their case against a proposed dam on the Bear River. The collection includes Friends of Bear River correspondence as well as photocopies of correspondence between FERC and Birch Creek Power Company obtained by Friends of Bear River, various legal motions, newspaper articles, newsletters, opposition letters, and the scoping documents issued by FERC that outlined the environmental impacts of the proposed dam. In many instances, photocopies were made by Friends of Bear River in order to disperse their materials to multiple people. Items are arranged chronologically when dates are specified. Some portions of the collection have been maintained in their original order, such as letters of opposition in Box 6 folders 1-20.
