NW dam removal update, and the breach of Montana’s Milltown Dam!

Posted on April 3, 2008 | Filed Under Dam Removal, Events, Northwest, River Renewal 

Amy Kober
Northwest Outreach & Communications Director

An article I wrote for Open Spaces magazine about dam removal in the Northwest, “Ringing in new life for rivers” is now posted on their web site. Enjoy!

In recent dam removal news, the coffer dam at Montana’s Milltown Dam site was breached last Friday.

Check out the Milltown Dam Cam on the Clark Fork Coalition’s web site. American Whitewater also has a little video about the event.
