联邦法官驳回塞勒姆市请求：俄勒冈州底特律湖深水位下调照常推进
联邦法官11月4日驳回了塞勒姆市与马里昂县提出的请求，拒绝叫停底特律湖的深水位下调计划。这意味着美国陆军工程兵团最早可在本月内将该水库降至有记录以来的最低水位，以帮助濒危鲑鱼通过底特律大坝游向大海。
塞勒姆市、马里昂县、斯泰顿市与桑蒂亚姆水资源控制区此前向俄勒冈州联邦地区法院提出申请，称下调水位将给中威拉米特河谷约22万居民带来无法弥补的损害，并向北桑蒂亚姆河倾泻大量泥沙，影响饮用水与供水安全。双方律师于10月6日出庭辩论。
主审法官穆斯塔法·卡苏拜裁定，原告未能证明无法弥补的损害是可能发生的，而只是有可能发生，因此驳回了禁令请求。裁定同时说明，驳回不带偏见，若在2026年下调期间或2027年下调之前出现新的具体事实，原告可以重新提出禁令申请。马里昂县方面表示将立即向联邦第九巡回上诉法院提起上诉。
陆军工程兵团表示，正准备于今年秋季将底特律水库降至海拔1425英尺，但未公布具体日期。下调计划定于11月底或12月初开始，塞勒姆市方面在裁定后未立即发表评论。

Federal Judge Denies Salem's Request; Detroit Lake Deep Drawdown in Oregon to Proceed
A federal judge on November 4 denied requests from the city of Salem and Marion County to halt the deep drawdown of Detroit Lake, clearing the way for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to lower the reservoir to its lowest level ever recorded as soon as this month, to help endangered salmon pass Detroit Dam and reach the ocean.
Salem, Marion County, the city of Stayton and the Santiam Water Control District had asked the U.S. District Court of Oregon to intervene, arguing the drawdown would cause irreparable harm to about 220,000 people in the Mid-Willamette Valley and send heavy loads of sediment into the North Santiam River, affecting drinking water and water supply. Attorneys argued the case on October 6.
Judge Mustafa Kasubhai ruled that the plaintiffs had shown irreparable harm was only possible, not likely, and denied the injunction. The denial was without prejudice, meaning the plaintiffs may renew their request if new facts emerge during the 2026 drawdown or before the 2027 drawdown. Marion County said it would immediately appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.
The Army Corps said it is preparing to draw Detroit Reservoir down to an elevation of 1,425 feet this fall but did not specify a date. The drawdown is set to begin in late November or early December, and Salem officials had no immediate comment after the ruling.
