Historic dam removal project sets important precedence for other rivers
By Pat Ford - Executive Director, Save Our Wild Salmon
This Saturday, on September 17th, America celebrates a national achievement on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State: removal of the two Elwha River dams. This is the largest dam removal project in the world, ever. The Glines Canyon dam on the Elwha at 210 feet marks the highest dam ever removed as well.
