ALBENI FALLS DAM – States findings of the Legislature and requests federal intervention regarding the repair, operation, and ownership of Albeni Falls Dam.

Idaho's SJM 105 is a non-binding joint memorial (not a bill) requesting federal action regarding the Albeni Falls Dam. It asks the U.S. President and Congress to direct immediate dam repairs, evaluate whether operations comply with historical agreements (like Senate Document No. 9), and consider transferring ownership to Idaho after 70 years of power generation covered the federal investment. The memorial specifically addresses water level management for Kokanee salmon spawning and recreational access at boat ramps. It directly affects Idaho residents, local economies, and ecosystems dependent on Lake Pend Oreille's recreational and environmental benefits. The Idaho Legislature passed this memorial to formally urge federal intervention on dam maintenance and management.
