all of that ecological harm occurring as the water flooded is hard to watch, but the ens results make it worth it. Take out those dams, let the river heal itself and say hello to your new friend, lots of salmon.

yeah, yeah,or yes,!
now... ... enter the salmon babe!

who else thinks there is placer gold??
-
all this sediment will end up at the base of bonnevillle dam along with all the other sediment from the river
-
@skkippboo The flood and silt were at about %25 of the levels that went out in the flood of 1996. There have been no reported damages caused by that so I think we are safe.
-
@cember01 It might have been a "splash" dam that was used when they were driving logs down the river to the mill. These dams built up a "splash" (thus the name) of water that was released to give the logs a big push through a sticky section of small rivers so that there were fewer jams.
-
@skkippboo it will take years, and it was all considered in planning and permitting stages. It is but a fraction of what was deposited by the storms that blew the Hood River out in 2006, just for reference. Mother Nature will heal this river, and that sediment will end up in the Columbia and Pacific, like it's supposed to in the natural processes of rivers
-
Imagine all the damage that this silt is going to cause in the fragile pacific ocean when it arrives there all at once!! =P
-
Someone is finally wising up and getting rid of these dams! Dams completely ruin the ecology for the wildlife. BLOW "EM ALL!!

It's the Coffer Dam that was built to divert water around the dam site while Condit was being built. PacifiCorp plans to remove it in the coming months.
