3 Damn Dams Are Coming Down !!!
Finally, 3 dams on the Klamath are scheduled to come down. Long overdue, hope it happens. 1 in Oregon and 2 in N Kali.

If the Klamath responds the way the Elwha seems to have, it could add a lot of evidence to use in favor of more removals.
This is great stuff.

Dam removal is a function of economic feasibility, not environmental sense.
Elwha went down because it could barely supply enough energy for a mill.

I have hopes for the Klamath but some trepidation as well. I do not think the Klamath will respond like the Elwha. It is a flatter gradient and I think it will take some time for all that sediment to move through the system with some potentially not so great consequences. Although they say the sediment is non-toxic - I question that a bit as there has been many years of abuse in the upper watershed. I am keeping my fingers crossed that at least in the long run this will help the fish though I expect the short term will be tough
