Milltown Dam Removal

-- Why they removed this dam ,,, Cheers from BAnja Luka Bosnia (serbian republic) ...

Victory !!! God bless you for this video ! Cheers from Sarajevo, Bosnia

great video! I'm anticipating the removal of the ballville dam in Fremont, Ohio so that walleyes from lake Erie can gain nearly 25 miles of spawning habitat along with many other spieces including the endangered lake sturgeon.

I've seen far too many dams that have more drawbacks than benefits, including sediment buildup, wildlife damage, and pollution.
The worst is when the State can no longer afford to maintain the dam and it's in danger of collapse.

goodbye to milltown dam and donner dam(upper Clark Fork River, side of the woodmill)

Looks like a bunch of CalTrans workers to me. A dozen guys staring at the erosion while one guy with a wrench starts loosening bolts. Glad to see dam removal projects being implemented.

Whoa, look at how fast that is eroding! 1:50

Hey mdsleep,
The people who lived for thousands of years before the invention of the modern dam seemed to do pretty well, the whole world didn't flood. And yes, rivers did and do flood but the people who live by them know when, and how to use it to benefit them. Look at the Nile river and The Amazon river.And dams do have negative effects, and sometimes the cons out weigh the pro. I'm sorry but I think that the enviromental threat is a little higher up than your recreational time on a reservoir.

Thanks for the coverage! It's great to see that its early stages have turned out successful.

beautifully done -
