A lot of people commenting who either do not know about this project or are Northwestern Lake property owners. Pacific Power, the owner of the dam, did a cost-benefit in the 90s and decided to take the dam out because it cost more to maintain than it would ever make in power sales. The original opponents were the Tribes because there hadn't been enough planning for wildlife protection. When the studies were done and the protection and mitigation measures were put in place, the Tribes signed off. Then it was time for the Northwestern Lake property owners to block it every way they could. They couched it in terms of "protecting our cherished way of life," but in reality they knew if Condit was removed, their lakefront properties would no longer have lakefronts. Put bluntly, they wanted Pacific Power and its customers to go on subsidizing their property values. They lost, and the dam was removed. As for water storage, if you want an effective reservoir, you put it up in the mountains where gravity can assist the pipelines, not down at 300' above sea level.

@TheMrMused2 жыл бұрын
Salmon were still spawning in the lower river so they were never eliminated, simply reduced to very low numbers. Now they have the full river and a much better riverbed for redds. The salmon are inedible well before they're dead. Once they enter freshwater, they stop eating and every bit of energy comes from their flesh. Catching them soon upon returning to freshwater is the way the natives have always done it. Sportfishing for them also tends to only be productive very soon after they enter freshwater. This applies equally to the Great Lakes fisheries. The only salmon that doesn't die after spawning is the Atlantic Salmon. Steelhead (trout) will also return over multiple years to spawn.

When the fact is that all the water that ever entered the dam flowed through or over the dam. So now that the dam is gone, there will still be dry years for the White Salmon River.
@douglaswesson24582 жыл бұрын
The White Salmon is such healthy river that the dam removal was a push. Where the salmon spawned was from the mouth of the river down to the fish hatchery, so when Bonneville dam was built the spawning area was gone. Condit dam had been built twice before with a fish ladder but both dams blew out in the respective winters. The 3rd dam built in 1912 didn`t have a fish ladder. Instead they built raceways around a mile up from the mouth of the river. The dam became the battle ground because it was the first of, I believe, 5 dam projects PP&L has/had in OR and WA and would set precedent for concrete dam removal. On a side note, the PP&L dams on the Klamath river are the ones that really need to go, but I digress. We were indeed very concerned about the contents of the lake and what it would do to the lower section. We were very surprised, in a good way, with what happened. It should also be mentioned that the recovery work done where the lake was has also been a pleasant surprise, hats off to them. I think the biggest peril the White Salmon faces now is being loved to death.

A list of ideas that might help. Fish Runs saving Dams and Water Shortages Update 7/4/2021 Do you have a nearby moving river or stream? You can now place a slow speed water generator on the bottom of the stream and make power 24 hours a day. The unit is called a Waterotor made in Canada. The Waterotors won't harm fish and can be scaled up to meet the needs of small towns or cities. Make the power miles away from the small town, sell the power to the power company than use the power to make water anywhere. Atmospheric water generators can make drinking water and irrigation water, and with a Waterotor, power can be made even in remote regions of the World. You just need moving water 3 to 4 miles an hour in streams, irrigation channels, fish ladders or even waste water outlet's. Garbage treatment plants can also use the power they make burning garbage to make water with atmospheric water generators and add storage tanks to supply small towns and cities. Adding Waterotors below dams can maximize electrical power made by any dam and replace power lost if the dam has a fish ladder or channel for fish to move up and down stream. A dam can be saved for flood control by adding these powered fish ladders and channels or notching the dam and putting in a flood gate to raise and lower the river during fish runs. Now people and fish can share the river. Note using the methane from sewage treatment plants or garbage landfills might be used to generate electricity for any water making projects. You might use your own City sewage system to make filtered irrigation water for lawns and gardens they have a system like that in my my small town. Note, what to make even more power? Then by covering fish ladders and channels with spaced solar panels decreases evaporation of the water and increases the efficiency of the solar panels. A now overdue idea, dealing with forest fires. You build and place atmospheric water generators and 100,000 to 5,000,000 gallon water tanks on hilltops to protect your town. You cover the tanks with solar panels and add wind turbines to make power anywhere. You sell the power, drinking water and irrigation water, then by adding irrigation pipes down the hillsides, you can create fire lines that lasts up to 24 hours. You make these fire lines by adding TetraKO, by Earth Clean at a 4 to 6 percent solution to the water. Turn on these stand alone units remotely, your fire trucks can work elsewhere or resupply themselves with needed water. Fire protection, drinking water, irrigation water and stand alone power for any city or town in need. Here again, Waterotor generators could be used to generate power for the hilltop water making units. These ideas all can be done today, just search KZbin, and then tell someone.

Nice to fix one river. Too bad pretty much every other river in the area is currently damned, some of them in multiple places. Seattle and Portland use a lot of water and power.

Try not to dwell so much on the negative things in life, Bub. Things like this take time, and besides, there have been many dam removals here. Also know that Washington has been the State leading the country with river restoration. We owe much of that to the wonderful Tribes that live here.

I think we ALL need to embrace the ways of traditional native Indians and live off the land.. respect it they way it should be respected, nurture it the way it nurtures us.. keep it alive and prosperous so it may keep us alive and provides everything we as humans NEED .. we need the earth a lot more than we need the technology on it

You're not going to see ONE SINGLE INDIAN living off the land like their ancestors did. You'll see them eating at buffets in their casinos or off federal government welfare but living off the land, not hardly!

If it even would? There's was no question of the salmon coming back or the silt being a issue. If there was they wouldn't have torn down the dam. Think about it. The river would move the silt down stream as per usual if they dam wasn't there and if the fish didn't come back they could always seed the river. It's not hard to do. The trees and plants will reseed themselves. In case you forgot just north of there is St Helens. In less than ten years after the eruption the forests were regrowing, deer and game were coming back etc. That was after being buried under several feet of volcanc ash. Is there a required class on hyperboyle for environmentalists? It seems to be their default setting.

Removal of the dam has proven habitat restoration helps river recovery. With time, indigenous species will return.

@Debbie ohmyorgan nonsense. Salmon ladders are a crude substitute. The northwest anadromous teleost have evolved to respond to those very conditions of drought and flooding. The biomass expansion and contraction of a R selected population.

They aren't "white salmon". They are Chinook salmon. Which are not endangered as the video suggests. Only that they are not found in high numbers in this river. It is nice to restore the river, but the salmon component is misleading.

@@ericharmon7163 Give the salmon time to respond to the reopening of this part of their range...for generations they have been denied this, now give them time to realize they can come "home" again...but this only works if those of us who are "fighting" for regaining a healthy planet, oceans, lands, and atmosphere are successful.

When they released the water it created beds for them to spawn, the same thing gold dredgers do. If they {there too many agencies to list} would get they're heads out of their butts they might figure it out. Not to mention all the garbage, lead, mercury, fishing gear, and so on.

@@kdigiacomo Have you ever seen dredging in progress or the beds it creates after the hardpacked material is loosened up? Have ever witnessed salmon spawning on the gravel beds created? I have, your ignorant to what really happens. The breaking of the dam will create new areas they can spawn in. If you think dredgers muddy the river look what mother nature does in a flood?

It’s interesting that the Indian leader hasn’t been back to the site since the dam was removed.
