The Dams Come Tumbling Down--That's Real Progress

by akmk

The Rogue River dams in Oregon are down.  

The Savage Rapids dam on the Rogue was dismantled in October 2009.  And a bit ahead of schedule, in September of 2010, the temporary dam in place to allow for removal of the Savage Rapids dam parts, was also removed.

The Rogue River flows free once again.

The Elwha dams (both of them) in Washington State are scheduled for demolition before next summer.
