The #KlamathRiver dam removal project has broken ground!
Representatives of basin tribes, the Klamath River Renewal Corporation, and Resource Environmental Solutions held a press announcement yesterday to share the news.
The biggest dam removal in history begins with a year of building supportive infrastructure, like roads to get all the heavy equipment in, and facilities for the working crew.

Badass story on tribes being badasses, stocking up on billions of seeds and planting Native trees to start restoring the landscape before Klamath dam removal even begins.
The #Yurok Tribe recruited riparian ecologist Joshua Chenoweth, who helped restore the Elwha River after what was then the biggest dam removal in US history, to help with the massive undertaking on the #KlamathRiver.

' [Yurok Tribe counsel Amy] Cordalis said that [the Bureau of] Reclamation released more water for agriculture last year than was necessary.
“What that did was it drove down [the level of Klamath Lake] really, really far and so we are essentially starting with an empty bathtub,” she said. “[Now the bureau] is]saying, ‘oh, no, we don't have enough for species…and so now we have to decide, which fish are we going to kill?’ ” '

The feds have cut water flows on the #Klamath, sacrificing endangered salmon so we can have In-N-Out fries.

Haven't seen a peep around here about the unprecedented Klamath River dam removal project, which is not without its controversies, of course.
I keep thinking, "y'all are gonna need some beavers."

U.S. regulators approved a plan Thursday to demolish four dams on a California river and open up miles of #salmon #habitat; the #LargestDam #Removal and #River #Restoration #Project in the world when it goes forward.
#FederalEnergyRegulatoryCommission's unanimous vote on the lower #KlamathRiver #dams is the last major regulatory hurdle and the biggest milestone for a $500 million #Demolition proposal championed by #NativeAmerican tribes and #environmentalists for years.
