Elwha River dam removal begins largest US project
Federal workers will shut down the Elwha and Glines Canyon dams on June 1, ending nearly a century of hydroelectric power. The 45 mile river will free salmon runs and restore habitat, with 24 million cubic yards of sediment to be released and 800 acres of barren land exposed. Local tribes recall opposition to the dams while scientists study river recovery and ecosystem impacts.
